Abstract Luminescent semiconductors are the key material in a host of optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and x-ray scintillators, and have been discovered at an increasing rate over the last decades. To optimize any device, a luminescent semiconductor’s photophysics must be understood and its loss processes minimized.

Seed-mediated synthesis of monodisperse plasmonic magnesium nanoparticles† Vladimir Lomonosov,‡ab   Elizabeth R. Hopper‡abc  and  Emilie Ringe *ab   Abstract We reduce di-n-butylmagnesium with arene (naphthalene, biphenyl, phenanthrene) radical anions and dianions to obtain metallic, plasmonic Mg nanoparticles. Their size and shape depends on the dianion concentration and reduction potential.
