Scheme 1. Synthesis of Zn3N2 Colloidal Quantum Dots.

Scheme 1

(1) In an inert atmosphere, a mixture of 1-octadecene and oleylamine is heated to 225°C. (2) Ammonia gas is bubbled through the solvent, and diethylzinc is rapidly injected at 5 min intervals. (3) Zn3N2 quantum dots size is controlled by the number of diethylzinc injections.
