Isolation of the Magic‐Size CdSe Nanoclusters [(CdSe)13(n‐octylamine)13] and [(CdSe)13(oleylamine)13]

Pure magic: CdSe nanoclusters with a magic size have previously been obtained only as mixtures. Two ligated forms of (CdSe)13 have now been isolated by exfoliation of nanocluster–n-octylamine bilayer aggregates followed by release of [(CdSe)13(n-octylamine)13] or freely soluble [(CdSe)13(oleylamine)13] nanoclusters by ligand exchange.
