The feasibility of preparing Fe2–xMnxP nanoparticles using the single-source precursors FeMn(CO)8(μ-PR2) (R = Ph or R = H) has been investigated. The solution-based thermal decomposition of FeMn(CO)8(μ-PPh2) in the presence of hexadecylamine and oleic acid resulted in the formation of FeO nanoparticles, while decomposition of FeMn(CO)8(μ-PH2) under similar conditions yielded iron-rich Fe2–xMnxP nanoparticles. Solventless decomposition of FeMn(CO)8(μ-PH2) at 573 K resulted in the formation of hexagonal FeMnP, a structure generally observed only at temperatures above 1473 K. The role of surface stabilizing agents in the production of iron-rich Fe2–xMnxP nanoparticles was examined through a series of experiments in which the type and quantity of stabilizers were varied, and evidence that oleic acid was responsible for the leaching or sequestration of manganese atoms was obtained. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data acquired from the Fe2–xMnxP nanoparticles and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data fro...
