Figure 3: 31P NMR spectra of CdTe reaction mixtures with Te precursor.

(a) 2Cd(OOCC17H33)2+TeTOP+HPPh2. (b) 2Cd(OOCC17H33)2+TeTOP+HPPh2+2C18H35NH2. (c) 2Cd(OOCC17H33)2+TeTOP+HPPh2+2C12H25SH. (d) 2Cd(OOCC17H33)2+TeTOP+HPPh2+2C12H25OH. The experiments were performed at RT for 15 (1), 30 (2), 45 (3) and 60 min (4) for a, and 15 (1), 30 (2) and 60 min (3) for the rest. The peak denoted with an asterisk (*) is TOP complexed to Cd (ref. 23).
