Abstract
One of the most exciting frontiers in materials chemistry in recent years is the optoelectronics of “quantum-confined” semiconductor nanoclusters. These nanoclusters are ∼ 10–200 A in diameter, and in this size regime exhibit extra-ordinarily interesting quantum mechanical effects. Cadmium sulfide is a popular semiconductor for these studies, and reviewed here is the synthesis and charac-terization of such CdS nanoclusters, with emphasis on how chemical control of the surface by thiolates influences product formation and properties. Also described are the syntheses and structures of true molecular clusters of CdS capped with thiolate ligands.
