13. The term



.

is used to describe the dispersion of nanoparticles
in a compatible solvent. Whether the particles actually dissolve in
a classic sense is debatable, since they form a colloid. However, most
TOPO-capped particles are easily dispersible in solvents such as
hexane and toluene, giving optical clear

' solubility '

' solutions ' that are almost

inde nitely stable in a similar manner to organic compounds.



Addition of a more polar solvent such as methanol induces

precipitation. This gives the particles a de nite set of solvents and

non-solvents and allows the materials to be manipulated like
a common organic reagent. We therefore refer to the process as
'



dissolving ' or ' dispersing ' and the terms are o en used



interchangeably.
