Oxidative assembly of metal chalcogenide nanocrystals (NCs) enables the formation of 2-D (dense) and 3-D porous structures without the presence of intervening ligands between particles that can moderate transport properties. This route has been demonstrated to be successful for a range of single-component structures including CdQ, PbQ, and ZnQ (Q = S, Se, Te). En route to the controllable assembly of multicomponent nanostructures, the roles of Q redox properties (2Q2− → Q22− + 2e) responsible for particle cross-linking and the native structure (cubic zinc blende vs hexagonal wurtzite) in the kinetics of assembly in single-component CdQ NCs are evaluated using time-resolved dynamic light scattering (TR-DLS). For wurtzite CdQ, the rates follow the ease of oxidation, with telluride as the fastest, followed by selenide and sulfide. However, when comparing CdS wurtzite (w) and zinc blende (zb), the cubic NCs exhibit surprisingly slow kinetics. NMR studies reveal the zb structure to have lower ligand coverage (by a factor of 4) relative to that of w, and the formation of free disulfide (the product of ligand oxidation) is slow. This is attributed to differences in the surface energies of w and zb facets, with w having polar (0001) facets of high energy compared to the neutral facets of the zb structure. The zb-CdS NCs prepared by low-temperature synthesis methods are likely to suffer from surface defects that may moderate reactivity. EPR studies suggest that zb-CdS has paramagnetic sulfur vacancies not present in w-CdS. These data suggest that structure plays an unexpectedly large role in the kinetics of CdQ NC oxidative assembly, providing a useful lever to moderate activities in multicomponent assemblies.
