Five new, discretely sized, magic-size II-VI nanoclusters are synthesized in primary-amine bilayer templates and are isolated as the derivatives (CdS)(34)(n-butylamine)(18), (ZnS)(34)(n-butylamine)(34), (ZnSe)(13)(n-butylamine)(13), (CdTe)(13)(n-propylamine)(13), and (ZnTe)(13)(n-butylamine)(13). The nanoclusters are characterized by elemental analysis, UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, laser-desorption-ionization mass spectrometry, and transmission electron microscopy. Four of the nanocluster precursors are converted to wurtzitic CdS, ZnS, and ZnSe quantum platelets and CdTe quantum belts, respectively, under mild conditions.
