Size quantization effects observed in small semiconductor clusters are currently of great interest for potential nonlinear optic and photocatalytic applications. While materials based on II-VI semiconductors have been extensively studied, the preparation of III-V size quantized semiconductors has been hampered by the much less-developed solution state chemistry in such systems. With the use of inclusion chemistry, we have succeeded in preparing small clusters of GaP in a crystalline, periodic environment of well-defined size and shape (zeolite Y).
