Ternary nanosized sulfide CdIn2S4was synthesized using hot-injectionmethod in oleic acid/oleylamine mixture as reaction media at 270ºC. TEM images have shown that obtained material grows through multistep process, forming marigold structures built out from mesocrystals. Influence of oleic acid and oleic acid/oleylaminemixture as reaction media on mesocrystal formation is tracked and discussed.Physical chemistry 2016 : 13th international conference on fundamental and applied aspects of physical chemistry; Belgrade (Serbia); 26-30 September 201
