Abstract

Pentafluorothiophenol, thiophenol, 1-decanethiol, 1-hexanethiol, benzoic acid and cyanoacetic acid, which are confirmed to bind to the surface of ZnS nanocrystallites, induce phase transition of ZnS nanocrystallites from the hexagonal to the cubic phase, with retention of the crystalline size of 3 nm at ambient temperature and pressure.
