Atomically precise, geometrically unique, and chemically homogeneous inorganic clusters offer unique opportunities within the realm of nanoscale synthesis. This talk will highlight our use of indium phosphide clusters as precursors to new nanoscale phases that have unique physical structures, compositions, or morphologies that are otherwise challenging or impossible to obtain. Specifically, I will discuss our use of InP clusters as seeds to an unprecedented polytwistane phase of this material, as precursors for the synthesis of doped and alloyed InP nanocrystals, and as antecedents to anisotropic InP nanocrystals.
