Role of carboxylates in the phase determination of metal sulfide nanoparticles

At low carboxylate concentrations the sulfur source is highly reactive thiourea, which gives rise to sulfur rich nanoparticles. At high carboxylate concentrations, the sulfur source is the less reactive thiocyanate, resulting in sulfur poor phases.
