Metal chalcogenide–organic nanostructured composites from self-assembled organic amine templates

Abstract

Hexagonal and lamellar nanostructured organic–metal chalcogenide composites have been prepared by the reaction of metal salt aliphatic-amine nanostructured adducts with Na₂S or Na₂Se solution; nanostructured composites of CdS, SnS₂ , Sb₂S₃ and CdSe with long-chain aliphatic amines obtained in this manner have been characterized.
