A varied bouquet : Crystalline nanoflowers (see picture) of compounds with different chemical and physical properties, for example, In 2 O 3 , ZnO, CoO, MnO, and ZnSe, are grown by a new approach, limited ligand protection (LLP). LLP destabilizes the primary nanoparticles and promotes their three‐dimensionally oriented attachment into complex nanostructures.
