Abstract

Pure magic: CdSe nanoclusters with a magic size have previously been obtained only as mixtures. Two ligated forms of (CdSe) 13 have now been isolated by exfoliation of nanocluster-n-octylamine bilayer aggregates followed by release of [(CdSe) 13(n-octylamine) 13] or freely soluble [(CdSe) 13(oleylamine) 13] nanoclusters by ligand exchange.
