The usefulness of cadmium chalcogenide clusters and their organized superlattices in optical, electronic, and catalytic applications [1] has prompted researchers to synthesize cadmium chalcogenide nanostructures of different shapes and sizes. In particular, self-assembly of structurally well-defined cadmium chalcogenide clusters is of interest because their uniform sizes and precisely known structures allow the study of quantum-confinement effects and collective properties at the lower size limit of quantum-dot structures.[2–6] The availability of different cluster sizes and their various spatial organizations may lead to new applications in optoelectronic and catalytic applications.An interesting property of cadmium chalcogenides is their optical response. As photofunctional materials, the cadmium chalcogenide system has been widely studied in solar-energy conversion, semiconductor surface sensitization and modification, and nanoelectronics. Nanoelectronic devices, which may eventually replace microelectronics in communications and computer technology, require the size of a semiconductor to be reduced to nanoscale proportions. Such a size reduction will enhance its electronic, magnetic, and optical properties, and thus enable new applications. In the area of nanostructured materials, chalcogenide clusters such as [Cd17S4-(SPh) 28] 2À (called C1 cluster, the first member of the series of capped supertetrahedral clusters denoted as Cn, n= 1, 2, 3…) and [Cd32Se14 (SePh) 36 (PPh3) 4](C2) lie at the extreme lower limit of the size spectrum of nanoparticles.[7] Thus, the optical response of these individual clusters and their self-assembled covalent superlattices may have potential applications in nanoelectronics.
