Metal-chalcogenide complexes: from coordination chemistry to nanoscience

尺寸只有几纳米（1纳米= 10-9米）的半导体材料的化学正在成为生物学、化学、物理学和材料科学传统边界之间的一个统一研究领域。本提案概述了新型无机试剂的制备和半导体纳米团簇组装的新反应策略的设计，其中包含尺寸依赖的物理性质。本研究发展的核心是在这些配合物的制备过程中实现对粒度的精细控制，同时引入特定的物理或化学性质。为此，将制备和使用特殊试剂来控制这些具有设计的磁性，光致发光和电化学性能的纳米材料的组装。

The chemistry of semiconductor materials that are but a few nanometers in size (1 nanometer = 10-9 meters) is emerging as a unifying area of research between the traditional boundaries of biology, chemistry, physics and materials science. This proposal outlines the preparation of new inorganic reagents and the design of new reaction strategies for the assembly of semiconductor nanoclusters, which contain size-dependent physical properties.Central to the development of this research is the ability to achieve fine control of particle size during the preparation of these complexes, at the same time introducing a specific physical or chemical property. To this end, specialty reagents will be prepared and used to control the assembly of these nanomaterials with designed magnetic, photoluminescent and electrochemical properties.
