Three-dimensional structure of CdX „X=Se,Te... nanocrystals by total x-ray diffraction

چکیده
The three-dimensional structure of oleic acid-capped CdSe and thiol-capped CdTe nanocrystals used as quantum dots has been determined by total synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction and atomic pair distribution function analysis. Both CdSe and CdTe are found to exhibit the zinc-blende-type atomic ordering. It is only slightly distorted in CdSe implying the presence of nanosize domains and very heavily distorted in CdTe due to the presence of distinct core-shell regions. The results well demonstrate the great potential of the experimental approach and thus encourage its wider application in quantum dot research. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.

The crystal structure of the title Schiff base complex is obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.The solid state structure determination reveals that the coordination geometry around the copper(II) center istetrahedrally distorted square-planar. The crystal packing shows one dimensional infinite chains which arisesfrom the intermolecular interaction and stabilize the crystal packing.
