(A) UV–vis spectra of the aliquots taken from the reaction for the synthesis of the amorphous NixPy with 1 mL of TOP used; (B) calculated UV–vis spectrum (λmax = 313 nm) of a tetrahedral Ni(0)-TOP4 complex shown in the inset; and (C) schematic illustration of the reaction mechanism for the TOP-mediated synthesis.
