Abstract
A novel ligated reagent complex is provided. The ligated reagent includes at least one zero-valent atom, whether metal, metalloid, or non-metal, in complex with at least one hydride molecule and at least one nitrile compound. The ligated reagent complex can be useful in the synthesis of nanoparticles. Also provided is a method for preparing a ligated reagent complex. The method includes a step of ball-milling a mixture that includes a preparation containing a zero-valent element, a hydride molecule, and a nitrile compound.
