Spheres, rods, and wires are the most usual morphologies of semiconductor nanoparticles. Here, in contrast, cube‐shaped crystals of cadmium sulfide (e.g., see Figure) are reported. The “nanocubes” are produced on self‐assembled monolayers of alkanethiolates on gold, and the size of the cubes can be controlled through the use of different solvents during the synthesis.
