Simply decomposing InCp at room temperature in the presence of hexadecylamine leads to the formation of indium nanowires with a crystalline bct structure, a mean diameter of about 200 nm, and lengths in the micrometer range. The method can be extended to the preparation of In 3 Sn nanowires of about 100 nm in diameter (a transmission electron micrograph is shown in the picture). Cp=C 5 H 5 − .
