Applying cation or anion exchange to Cu_2-<i>x</i>S nanorods creates complex nanoheterostructures. Combining such anion and cation exchanges generates a system which uncovers the interplay between these two processes and understands the cooperativity between postsynthetic modifications more broadly. Cd²⁺ exchange was carried out on various plasmonic and nonplasmonic Cu_2-<i>x</i>S/Cu_2-<i>x</i>Te nanoheterostructures to test how the presence of Te^2- ions would affect the extent of Cd²⁺ incorporation. Three hypotheses were presented for how the presence of Cu_2-<i>x</i>Te could aInorganic chemistryAnion Exchange Impedes Subsequent Cation Exchange: Ion Mobility Is Altered by Vacancies and Ion Size.PMC11752502DMR-2003337EAR-0923224CHE-1724948DMR-2312618CS-PBP-2022-014Luo QRudman ENguyen Dinh CTEhrenberg NPlass KEDoligon CfalseAnion Exchange Impedes Subsequent Cation Exchange: Ion Mobility Is Altered by Vacancies and Ion Size.One method of achieving spatially specific, multi-component nanoheterostructures is to combine multiple forms of post-synthetic modification.
