N. Revaprasadu et al., A simple route to synthesise nanodimensional CdSe-CdS core-shell structures from single molecule precursors, CHEM COMMUN, (16), 1999, pp. 1573-1574
Highly mono-dispersed CdSe-CdS core-shell nanoparticles have been prepared
by a novel method in which [Cd{Se2CNMe((n)Hex)}(2)] (250 degrees C for 30 m
in) and [Cd{S2CNMe((n)Hex)}(2)] (250 degrees C for a further 30 min) are th
ermolysed in tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in a 'one pot' synthesis; th
e core-shell structure has been characterized by electronic spectroscopy, p
hotoluminescence, X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy (SAED, SEM and
TEM).
