Abstract

Oleylamine is widely used in nanomaterial and metal-halide perovskite synthesis. Impurities in commercially available oleylamine reagents are identified, purification procedures are explained, beneficial effects on lead chloride/oleylamine mixtures are documented, and impacts on materials synthesis are discussed. Suspensions of 0.12 mole fraction PbCl2 , PbBr2 , and PbI2 in purified, dried, and filtered oleylamine were found to form clear solutions upon heating to 100 °C. The infrared, Raman, and NMR spectra of oleylamine and a common trans impurity present in literature reference IR spectra are presented.
