AbstractPowder X-ray diffraction is one of the key techniques used to characterize the inorganic structure of colloidal nanocrystals. The comparatively low scattering factor of nuclei of the organic capping ligands and their propensity to be disordered has led investigators to typically consider them effectively invisible to this technique. In this report, we demonstrate that a commonly observed powder X-ray diffraction peak around $$q=1.4{\AA}^{-1}$$ q = 1.4 Å − 1 observed in many small, colloidal quantum dots can be assigned to well-ordered aliphatic ligands bound to and capping the nanocrystals. This conclusion differs from a variety of explanations ascribed by previous sources, the majority of which propose an excess of organic material. Additionally, we demonstrate that the observed ligand peak is a sensitive probe of ligand shell ordering. Changes as a function of ligand length, geometry, and temperature can all be readily observed by X-ray diffraction and manipulated to achieve desired outcomes for the final colloidal system.

AbstractA systematic description and classification of inorganic structure types is proposed on the basis of homogeneous or heterogeneous point configurations (Bauverbände) described by invariant lattice complexes and coordination polyhedra; subscripts or matrices explain the transformation of the complexes in respect (M) to their standard setting; the value of the determinant of the transformation matrix defines the order of the complex. The Bauverbände (frameworks) may be described by three-dimensional networks or two-dimensional nets explicitely shown with structures types of the
