Abstract
Systematic 111Cd solid-state (SS) NMR experiments were performed to correlate X-ray crystallographic data with SSNMR parameters for a set of CdS-based materials, varying from molecular crystals of small complexes [Cd(SPh)4]2- and [Cd4(SPh)10]2- to superlattices of large monodisperse clusters [Cd54S32(SPh)48(dmf)4]4- and 1.9 nm CdS. Methodical data analysis allowed for assigning individual resonances or resonance groups to particular types of cadmium sites residing in different chemical and/or crystallographic environments. For large CdS frameworks, 111Cd resonances were found to form three groups. This result is noteworthy, since for related systems with size polydispersity and variations in composition, such as CdS or CdSe nanoparticles protected with an organic ligand shell, typically only two groups of resonances were observed. The generalized information obtained in this work can be used for the interpretation of 111/113Cd SSNMR data for large CdS clusters and nanoparticles, for which crystal structure analysis remains inaccessible. Comparison of the powder X-ray diffraction patterns for freshly prepared and dried superlattices of large CdS clusters revealed an interesting superstructure rearrangement that was not observed for the smaller frameworks.

Abstract
We present calculated structural and optical properties of molecular cadmium chalcogenide nonstoichiometric clusters with a size range of less than 1 nm to more than 2 nm with well-defined chemical compositions and structures in comparison to experimental characterization and previous theoretical work. A unified treatment of these clusters to obtain a fundamental understanding of the size, ligand, and solvation effects on their optical properties has not been heretofore presented. The clusters belong to three topological classes, specifically supertetrahedral (Tn), penta-supertetrahedral (Pn), and capped supertetrahedral (Cn), where n is the number of metal layers in each cluster. The tetrahedrally shaped Tn clusters examined in this work are Cd(ER)4(2-) (T1), Cd4(ER)10(2-) (T2), and Cd10E4 (')(ER)16(4-) (T3), where R is an organic group, E and E' are chalcogen atoms (sulfur or selenium). The first member of the Pn series considered is M8E'(ER)16(2-). For the Cn series, we consider the first three members, M17E4 (')(ER)28(2-), M32E14 (')(ER)36L4, and M54E32 (')(ER)48L4(4-) (L = neutral ligand). Mixed ligand clusters with capping ER groups replaced by halogen or neutral ligands were also considered. Ligands and solvent were found to have a large influence on the color and intensity of the electronic absorption spectra of small clusters. Their effects are generally reduced with increasing cluster sizes. Blueshifts were observed for the first electronic transition with reduced size for both cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide series. Due to weakly absorbing and forbidden transitions underlying the one-photon spectra, more care is needed in interpreting the quantum confinement from the clusters' lowest-energy absorption bands.

Abstract
A series of water-soluble cadmium sulfide clusters bearing an alkyl-chain layer between the inorganic core and the outer PEG layer were synthesized by the ligand-exchange reaction of Cd(10)S(4)(SPh)(12) with thiols functionalized by an N-(ω-PEGylated alkyl) amide moiety. The photoluminescence titration experiments in aqueous media revealed that clusters with a sufficiently hydrophobic inner environment exhibit definite emission enhancements upon the addition of bisphenol A or 4-nonylphenol. The dramatic effect of the alkyl chain length on the emission responses demonstrated that the hydrophobic layer around the inorganic surface serves as guest binding sites to facilitate the access of the lipophilic phenols near the organic-inorganic interface. A marked preference for the lipophilic phenols over related compounds, such as methylated bisphenol A, long-chain n-alkanol, and nonlipophilic phenols, was observed in the emission responses of the "hydrophobic" cluster, suggesting that not only the hydrophobic interaction but also the attractive force involving the phenolic OH group contributes to the positive responses. The results of control experiments and IR studies indicated that the hydrogen bonding interaction between the phenolic OH group and the amide group in the surface organic units is responsible for the positive emission responses. The present work shows that the precise tuning of the molecular recognition environments near the organic-inorganic interface is useful for developing guest-specific functions.
