Figure 14 Atomic model of the CdSe wurtzite crystal structure. The (001) and the(001) crystal faces are emphasized to highlight the different number of danglingbonds associated with each Cd atom (three and one, respectively). (From Ref. 38,reprinted with permission.)mer again refers to various molecular precursor species. Specifically, thephosphonic acids may simply permit the high monomer concentrations thatare required for kinetic, anisotropic growth. As strong metal binders, theymay coordinate Cd monomers, stabilizing them against decomposition tometallic Cd [12].More complex shapes, such as ‘‘arrows,’’ ‘‘pine trees,’’ and ‘‘teardrops,’’have also been prepared in the CdSe system, and the methods usedare an extension of those applied to the preparation of CdSe rods. Once again,CdSe appears to be the ‘‘proving ground’’ for semiconductor nanoparticlesynthesis. Several factors influencing growth of complex shapes have beeninvestigated, including the time evolution of shape and the ratio of TOPO tophosphonic acid ligands [38], as well as the steric bulk of the phosphonic acid[12]. Predictably, reaction temperature also influences the character of the<strong>Copyright</strong> <strong>2004</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Marcel</strong> <strong>Dekker</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. <strong>All</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> <strong>Reserved</strong>.
