81. 2] complex could not be isolated from the OLA solution there was no available means of determining the number of OLA ligands coordinating to the Ge metal center. Removal of the aqua ligands should create adequate space in the coordination sphere of the metal center for two OLA ligands to coordinate. However, the possibility of a five coordinate Ge complex with only one coordinating OLA ligand cannot be dismissed without definitive analytical evidence.

98. It is critical that these values are determined accurately by TGA as they play an important role in the formulation of the CZTS/CZGeS NC inks. For example, it is not possible to create a 50/50 CZTS/CZGeS ink by simply mixing together the same mass of CZTS and CZGeS NCs as they will contain differing amounts of passivating ligands depending on their size and morphology, leading to unequal amounts of CZTS and CZGeS inorganic metal sulfides upon thermalization of the organic components.
