Oleylamine is a primary amine of the alkene (”Z”)-Octa-9-decene and similar in structure to the fatty acid oleic acid. It is a common reagent in the chemical synthesis of nanoparticles. It can function both as a solvent for the reaction mixture and as a coordinating agent to stabilize the surface of the particles. Most commercially available oleylamine is technical grade with only 70% purity.
