Abstract

Self-assembly of CdTe-nanoparticles and alkylammonium surfactants gives stable, hydrophobic surfactant-encapsulated CdTe-clusters that can be isolated as solid materials which dissolve in common organic solvents, spread at the air–water interface, and show enhanced photochemical stability.
