Green chemistry principles have gradually been implemented into the development of the synthetic chemistry of high‐quality semiconductor nanocrystals.1, 2 In comparison with the original organometallic approach, the resulting alternative routes are safe, simple, inexpensive, reproducible, versatile, “user friendly”, and yield nanocrystals with well‐controlled size, shape, and size/shape distribution. Further developments in this direction will promote the understanding of crystallization in general.
