This paper details two basic routes for the synthesis of III-V nanocrystals: (1) dehalosilylation reactions between Group III halides and E(SiMe{sub 3}){sub 3} (E=P, As) in hydrocarbon solvents to afford nanocrystalline III-V semiconductors or their precursors, (2) reactions of MX{sub 3} (M=Ga, X=Cl, I; M=In, X=Cl, I) in glyme solvents with in situ synthesized (Na/K){sub 3}E (E=P, As, Sb) in aromatic solvents yielding nanocrystalline GaP, GaAs, GaSb, InP, InAs and InSb after simply refluxing the reaction mixture. These materials have been extensively characterized in terms of particle size.
