The synthesis of nanosized zinc blende using organic surfactants as an organic template results in a narrow textural mesopore size distribution after surfactant removal. The findings from X‐ray diffraction measurements indicate randomly ordered pores, which is in good agreement with the reported results of transmission electron microscopy investigations. The complete removal of surfactants—much more difficult for microporous sulfides than for microporous oxides—is confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
