Abstract
Hexagonal nanostructures were prepared from the reaction of a phosphorus film with Sn/SnI4 at 650 °C under a pressure of 250 psi to 600 psi. The hexagons are composed of Sn and P in a proportion of 1:1 and contain cage tubes that are parallel to each other. The film temperature, pressure, and reaction time can affect the formation of the fine hexagonal nanostructures. The SnP hexagon has a different morphology from that of the SnP reported. It also contains tubes of cage clusters, which are 4.22 Å apart.
