Abstract

An anhydrous route for the synthesis of amine capped copper nanoparticles (NP) has been developed using coinage metal mesityl (mesityl = 2,4,6- Me3C6H2) derivatives. Under an argon atmosphere, [Cu(μ-mesityl)]5 was dissolved in octylamine and subsequently injected into a heated hexadecylamine solution (300°C) generating oxide-free spherical copper nanoparticles of 8–9 nm in diameter.
