Functional nanomaterials are indispensable to modern technologies and their low‐temperature synthesis is a key‐step to their incorporation in technologically advanced areas. In our pursuit to identify the reagents that are reactive at low temperature, we exploit here the inherent facile decomposition mechanism in the di‐tertiary‐butyl sulfide ligand as a strategy to obtain molecular complexes with ultra‐low decomposition temperature and explore their application as facile precursors to highly crystalline metal sulfide or metallic nanoparticles.
