This work applies organometallic routes to copper(0/I) nanoparticles and describes how to match ligand chemistries with different material compositions. The syntheses involve reacting an organo‐copper precursor, mesitylcopper(I) [CuMes]z(z=4, 5), at low temperatures and in organic solvents, with hydrogen, air or hydrogen sulfide to deliver Cu, Cu2O or Cu2S nanoparticles. Use of sub‐stoichiometric quantities of protonated ligand (pro‐ligand; 0.1–0.2 equivalents vs. [CuMes]z) allows saturation of surface coordination sites but avoids excess pro‐ligand contaminating the nanoparticle solutions. The pro‐ligands are nonanoic acid (HO2CR1), 2‐[2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]acetic acid (HO2CR2) or di(thio)nonanoic acid, (HS2CR1), and are matched to the metallic, oxide or sulfide nanoparticles. Ligand exchange reactions reveal that copper(0) nanoparticles may be coordinated by carboxylate or di(thio)carboxylate ligands, but Cu2O is preferentially coordinated by carboxylate ligands and Cu2S by di(thio)carboxylate ligands. This work highlights the opportunities for organometallic routes to well‐defined nanoparticles and the need for appropriate ligand selection.
