The investigation of Fe inclusion into I-III-VI Single Source Precursors (SSPs) is extremely beneficial to nanotechnology due to iron's unique paramagnetic properties.   Nanoparticles produced from Fe bearing SSPs will benefit the development of nanotechnology by possessing semiconductive properties with memory capacity.Efforts toward the synthesis of (I-III) CuMS2 (M=Fe, Al, In, Ga) nanoparticles are described. The strategies discussed include the synthesis of SSPs containing a CuFeS2 core, and partial incorporation of iron through ferrocene substituted ligands.  Characterization of the SSPs encompass NMR spectroscopy, XRD, elemental analysis, and calorimetry.
