Tailoring the Synthesis of LnF3 (Ln = La–Lu and Y) Nanocrystals via Mechanistic Study of the Coprecipitation Method

Abstract: Here, 15 LnF nanocrystals are synthesized using coprecipitation method with citrate stabilization to allow the fast, easy, and reproducible synthesis of several nanoscaled structures in water. General trends related to the behavior of LnF nanocrystals are highlighted due to their broad range of application in several fields (e.g., medical applications). The same nature for all Ln cations is expected due to the internal role of f orbitals. However, we found that the use of different lanthanide elements is cruci… Show more

“…As an example, we show the obtained TEM images for SmF 3 in Figure 5a. TEM images and XRD patterns for the NPs (5 °C) and supraparticles (100 °C) obtained with SmF 3 , EuF 3 , and LuF 3 are also shown in Figure S14 (more extensive analysis for these and other systems will be reported in a forthcoming publication 40 ). After this study with different NPs, we considered again the YF 3 case but now we used different multidentate carboxylic ligands to show that the ionic-mediated bridge is not exclusive of citrate anions.…”

“…Particles were obtained following a previous study, 23 based on a modied co-precipitation method in water at 100 C to obtain YF 3 supraparticles and LaF 3 NPs. To obtain YF 3 NPs with a small size ($5 nm), we used kinetic control during the synthesis at a temperature of 5 C. 21 As shown in Fig.…”

“…First of all, we recall that the faceting of the NCs strongly depends on the metal cation radii. [16] If the metal radius decreases, NC shape becomes more spherical or less faceted avoiding the spontaneous formation of patches by the hexagonal-faceted shape. In this case, faceted NCs are obtained for LaF 3 and CeF 3 but the particles obtained with PrF 3 NCs start to form self-assembly in supraparticles containing some NCs (Figure 4c).…”

“…The choice of lanthanide fluoride NCs for the inorganic core is due to the fact that a broad range of LnF 3 NCs has been synthesized and studied in detail in the last years [13,14] . Our recent studies [15,16] of LnF 3 NCs with several of the smallest lanthanides show strong interaction of the NCs with ions, which induces tunable self-assembly. Previous studies show that certain LnF 3 NCs have the appropriate faceting required in the mechanism shown in Figure 1.…”
