Indium Phosphide Quantum Dot Synthesis: In an oven-dried, 50 mL three-neck, round bottom flask, 0.350 g (1.20 mmol) of indium acetate was combined with 3.60 mmol of myristic or stearic acid (0.822 g and 1.024 g respectively) and 10 mL of 1-octadecene and Teflon-coated stir bar. A septum, thermocouple adapter, and air condenser column were attached to the flask and the joints were sealed with a minimal amount of Apiezon H vacuum grease. The flask was stirred and evacuated via a Schlenk line, after which a timer for one hour was started. The temperature was slowly raised to 70 °C using a heating mantle and then the vacuum line was closed, after which the temperature was raised to 80 °C under a passive vacuum. The vacuum line was cracked, such that the pressure gauge read approximately 100 mTorr, and the temperature was slowly raised to 120 °C, although the temperature generally peaked around 130 °C. At this point the solution rapidly cleared and the temperature was allowed to ambiently drop to 90 °C, at which point the vacuum line was completely opened. Once 30 minutes had passed, the vacuum line was closed, and the flask was flushed with a 5% hydrogen in argon mixture, after which the vacuum line was opened again. This process was repeated at the 40-minute and 50-minute mark. The crude solution was rapidly split into two fractions in large 50 mL centrifuge tubes and anhydrous methyl acetate was added in a 4:1 ratio with the crude solution. The addition of anhydrous methyl acetate resulted in the formation of a precipitate which was isolated from the supernatant by centrifuged at 6082 RCF for 5 minutes. After the yellow supernatant was discarded, the precipitate in each tube was resuspended in 2 mL of anhydrous hexanes. After the precipitate was completely suspended, 2 mL of anhydrous methyl acetate was added to each tube, resulting in a slightly cloudy solution. The solution was centrifuged at 6082 RCF for 5 minutes, resulting in a white precipitate. The supernatant was saved, and an additional 4 mL of anhydrous methyl acetate was added, causing a colored precipitate to form. The solution was centrifuged at 6082 RCF for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was discarded. The precipitate was suspended in an additional 2 mL of anhydrous hexanes per tube, and then 6 mL of anhydrous methyl acetate was added per tube to reform the precipitate. After the solution was centrifuged at 6082 RCF for 5 minutes and the supernatant discarded, the precipitate was suspended in 2 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran per tube and the solutions were collected and stored as a stock solution in an argon glovebox.
