title: From molecule to materials: crystalline superlattices of nanoscopic CdS clusters.
abstract: Make way for a superlattice! A crystalline 3D superlattice of 2.3 nm molecular CdS nanoclusters was prepared from a convenient mononuclear cadmium thiophenolate precursor. HRTEM and STEM tomography show highly crystalline repetition of monodisperse frameworks. This combined with elemental and thermogravimetric analyses suggests an approximate formula [Cd(130)S(103)(SPh)(54)].
