Metal-chalcogenide complexes: from coordination chemistry to nanoscience
FY 2007-08
Summary
The chemistry of semiconductor materials that are but a few nanometers in size (1 nanometer = 10-9 meters) is emerging as a unifying area of research between the traditional boundaries of biology, chemistry, physics and materials science. This proposal outlines the preparation of new inorganic reagents and the design of new reaction strategies for the assembly of semiconductor nanoclusters, which contain size-dependent physical properties.Central to the development of this research is the ability to achieve fine control of particle size during the preparation of these complexes, at the same time introducing a specific physical or chemical property. To this end, specialty reagents will be prepared and used to control the assembly of these nanomaterials with designed magnetic, photoluminescent and electrochemical properties.
