They control and direct nanocrystal syntheses and provide colloidal stability. Bound ligands also affect the nanocrystals’ chemical reactivity and electronic structure. Surface chemistry is thus crucial to understand nanocrystal properties and functionality. Here, we investigate the synthesis of metal oxide nanocrystals (CeO2-x, ZnO, and NiO) from metal nitrate precursors, in the presence of oleylamine ligands. Surprisingly, the nanocrystals are capped exclusively with a fatty acid instead of oleylamine. Analysis of the reaction mixtures with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed several reaction byproducts and intermediates that are common to the decomposition of Ce, Zn, Ni, and Zr nitrate precursors. Our evidence supports the oxidation of alkylamine and formation of a carboxylic acid, thus unraveling this counterintuitive surface chemistry."}],"department":[{"_id":"MaIb"}],"issue":"11","publication_status":"published","date_published":"2021-11-22T00:00:00Z","publisher":"American Chemical Society","date_created":"2022-03-02T15:24:16Z","user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","oa_version":"Published Version","oa":1,"status":"public","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"12885","status":"public"}],"link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2021-cn2fr","relation":"earlier_version"}]},"quality_controlled":"1","title":"Ligand conversion in nanocrystal synthesis: The oxidation of alkylamines to fatty acids by nitrate"}
