Abstract

Endosemiconductors, materials produced when atom constituents of bulk semiconductors are reorganized into ordered arrays of single size and shape clusters encapsulated within a nanoporous host, are introduced with the report of a novel tin(IV) sulfide endosemiconductor synthesized by a two-step MOCVD-like self-assembly process. Template-mediated hydrothermal syntheses of phase-pure and large single crystal tin(IV) sulfide exosemiconductors, materials resulting from reorganization of those same atomic constituents into an open-framework crystalline nanoporous structure is also discussed. The properties of these nanomaterials are considered in terms of the degree of coupling between molecule-like constituent clusters, a concept which mediates the nanoworld of matter intermediate between molecular and bulk.
