), which stabilizes the surface Pb-carboxylate network. Six distinct carboxylate binding modes are identified, with mounting-type and bridging-type carboxylates passivating facet and edge sites, respectively. Importantly, the ligands' primary binding oxygens self-assemble into ordered O(111) adlayers. The atomically defined PbSe NC establishes a model system, paving the way for the precision engineering of Pb-based NCs.
