Oleylamine is an amine of 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.^[2] This high level of impurity makes the reaction conditions with oleylamine difficult to reproduce and standardize.
