The length of the arms of a nanorod‐based architecture can be adjusted from 100 nm up to a micrometer (see Figure) when using the simple one step surfactant‐ligand co‐assisted solvothermal technique reported here. The arm lengths are controlled by simply changing the relative concentrations of dodecylthiol and ethylenediamine when preparing the multi‐armed CdS architecture with CdCl 2 and thiourea as reactants.
