ligand and the solvent temperature determine the initial particle shapefollowing injection (Fig. 19). Given adequate time, particle shapes evolvefrom the metastable rods to the stable truncated octahedron and cubes, withstar-shaped particles comprising energetically intermediate shapes [43].As in the CdSe system, the particle shape in the cubic PbS systemdepends intimately on the ligand concentration and its identity. The highestFigure 19 Transmission electron micrographs showing the variety of shapesobtained from the PbS system grown from the single-source precursor Pb(S 2 CNEt 2 ) 2at several temperatures: (a) Multipods prepared at 140jC; (b) tadpole-shapedmonopod (140jC); (c) I-shaped bipod (140jC); (d) L-shaped bipod (140jC); (e) T-shaped tripod (140jC); (f ) cross-shaped tetrapod (140jC); (g) pentapod (140jC); (h)star-shaped nanocrystals prepared at 180jC; (i) Rounded star-shaped nanocrystalsprepared at 230jC; (j) truncated octahedra prepared at 250jC.
