CdS and Cd 1– x Mn x S nanoparticles arranged in patterns within alkylamides (see Figure) can be prepared via the topotactic reaction of the corresponding metal thioalkanoates with gaseous ammonia, as described here. The organization of the particles is reported to be improved in some systems and induced in others in the presence of alkanoates that act as site‐directing nucleating centers.
