Description
Summary:Making use of the fact that perfluorohydrocarbon, and hydrocarbon solvents become miscible at high temperatures, highly pure inorganic nanoparticles capped with fluorous labels have been generated in a one-step synthesis. The procedure involves taking the reactants in a hydrocarbon+perfluorohydrocarbon mixture along with a fluorous reagent and carrying out the reaction at elevated temperatures. On cooling the reaction mixture, fluorous-capped inorganic nanoparticles dispersed in the perfluorohydrocarbon are obtained. Pure fluorous capped nanoparticles of inorganic materials such as CdSe, CdS, ZnO, Fe 2 O 3 and FePt have been prepared in a one step synthesis.
