A new approach for the chemical synthesis of colloidal indium antimonide (InSb) nanocrystals is reported. It relies on the in situ generation of stibine gas (SbH 3 ) as the antimony precursor and yields highly crystalline particles with a mean diameter of 8.8 nm and low size dispersion (13%). A synthetic pathway for the preparation of larger particles (≈100 nm) is also presented.
