Bis (dipiperidinyldithiocarbamato) cadmium (II)(1) and bis (ditetrahydroquinolinyldithio- carbamato) cadmium (II)(2) were used as precursors for the synthesis of oleylamine (OA), decylamine (DA) and dodecylamine (DDA) capped CdS nanoparticles. The optical properties of these particles have been studied. The absorption spectra for the amine capped CdS particles are blue shifted in relation to the bulk material. The corresponding ...
