Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were prepared within the siliceous MCM-41 mes
oporous molecular sieve, whose surface was functionalized with 3-mercaptopr
opyitrimethoxysilane at different temperatures. Their size, estimated from
diffuse reflectance UV/VIS spectra, decreases with increasing number of int
roduced thiol groups acting as anchors. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All
