what is mns chemistry?
In this section, we will review both the synthetic methods for the preparation of zero-dimensional (0D) and one-dimensional (1D) MnS nanosystems and their morphological [usually performed resorted to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)], structural [X-ray (XRD) and electron (ED) diffraction], and compositional [usually by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX, a.k.a. EDS), more rarely by electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and its imaging counterpart electron spectroscopy imaging (ESI)] characterization. The optical, electric, and magnetic properties of the MnS nanosystems will be discussed in the following sections. The present section will separately deal with 0D and 1D MnS nanostructures, and the reports specifically addressing the control of the MnS polymorphism are collected at the end of the section. Synthetic studies involving systematic variation in the reaction conditions are deemed particularly interesting and will be given particular attention.
