Sequential Cation Exchange in Nanocrystals: Preservation of Crystal Phase and Formation of Metastable Phases

Nano Letters (2011)

Hongbo Li Marco Zanella Alessandro Genovese Mauro Povia Andrea Falqui

We demonstrate that it is possible to convert CdSe nanocrystals of a given size, shape (either spherical or rod shaped), and crystal structure (either hexagonal wurtzite, i.e., hexagonal close packed (hcp), or cubic sphalerite, i.e., face-centered cubic (fcc)), into ZnSe nanocrystals that preserve all these characteristics of the starting particles (i.e., size, shape, and crystal structure), via a sequence of two cation exchange reactions, namely, Cd2+ ⇒Cu+ ⇒Zn2+. When starting from hexagonal wurtzite CdSe nanocrystals, the exchange of Cd2+ with Cu+ yields Cu2Se nanocrystals in a metastable hexagonal phase, of which we could follow the transformation to the more stable fcc phase for a single nanorod, under the electron microscope. Remarkably, these metastable hcp Cu2Se nanocrystals can be converted in solution into ZnSe nanocrystals, which yields ZnSe nanocrystals in a pure hcp phase.

Detection and Crystal Structure of Hydrogenated Bipentacene as an Intermediate in Thermally Induced Pentacene Oligomerization

The Journal of Organic Chemistry (2019)

Craig I. Hiley George F. S. Whitehead Marco Zanella C. Delacotte Troy D. Manning

6,6',13,13'-Tetrahydro-6,6'-bipentacene (HBP), the intermediate molecule connecting pentacene to previously observed peripentacene and extended pentacene oligomers through the formation of a carbon-carbon bond, is synthesized and crystallographically characterized. Heating pentacene to 300 °C under vacuum for 200 h results in pale golden crystals of HBP and amorphous material containing pentacene oligomers, offering experimental evidence that pentacene preferentially dimerizes at the 6,6'-position. Continued heating of HBP results in co-crystals of 6,13-dihydrogenated pentacene and pentacene and further amorphous pentacene oligomers. The amorphous material consists of layered carbonaceous species with a graphenic nature, as determined by Raman spectroscopy and electron microscopy, and suggests HBP as an intermediate to hydrogenated pentacene species and pentacene oligomers, such as peripentacene, of interest in organic electronics.

Self‐Assembled Multilayers of Vertically Aligned Semiconductor Nanorods on Device‐Scale Areas

Advanced Materials (2011)

Marco Zanella Raquel Guttierres Gomes Mauro Povia Cinzia Giannini Yang Zhang

Drop casting of highly concentrated solutions of nanorods in high boiling point solvents, followed by slow solvent evaporation, leads to the formation of crack-free multilayers of vertically aligned rods in square centimeter areas.

Identifying Spinel Phases in Nearly Monodisperse Iron Oxide Colloidal Nanocrystal

The Journal of Physical Chemistry C (2009)

Anna Corrias Gavin Mountjoy Danilo Loche Víctor Puntes Andrea Falqui

Nearly monodisperse iron oxide colloidal nanocrystals prepared by nonhydrolytic high-temperature solution method were obtained with two different sizes and degrees of oxidation. The characterization of the structural features of the nanocrystals was performed by a multitechnique approach including transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, energy filtered electron microscopy imaging, and SQUID magnetometry. The different techniques provided complementary information on the local oxidation state of iron in the iron oxide nanoparticles, the stability of the phases, the exact crystal structure, and the compositional homogeneity. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy show that the addition of oxidizer to the iron precursor gives rise to monodisperse polycrystalline nanoparticles made out of FeO plus a spinel phase. X-ray absorption near-edge structure, which is very sensitive to the oxidation state and local environment of iron in the different iron oxides, was used to distinguish among isostructural spinel phases of iron (II,III) oxide (magnetite) and iron(III) oxide (maghemite). Single-crystalline spinel nanoparticles are obtained upon sequential oxidation: in smaller nanoparticles a mixture of mainly Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3 is present, whereas the larger nanoparticles are made out of γ-Fe2O3, as also supported by SQUID magnetization measurements. The importance of a multitechnique approach for the elucidation of the compositional and structural details in addition to geometrical parameters in the characterization of nanocrystalline iron oxides is pointed out.
