Assembling of colloidal NCs with anisotropic shape into ordered superstructures is one of the existing challenges in nano-fabrication [1,2]. We report the formation of conductive superlattices of Cu1.1S nanodisks through directional cross-linking with CoTAPc molecule at the liquid/air interface monitored by real-time GISAXS. We investigate the structure, symmetry and lattice parameters of the superlattices, formed during solvent evaporation and ligand exchange with elapsed time. Cu1.1S nanodisks self-assemble into 2D hexagonal superlattice with minor in-plane contraction and continuous contraction during ligand exchange reaction. This attributes to the continuous replacement of the native oleylamine surface ligands with smaller CoTAPc molecules. The NDs has a preferential atomic orientation in the superlattices with respect to the substrates. The subsequent superlattices show high electrical conductivity, which corresponds to the successful cross-linking of the nanodisks. Our work thus provides a correlation between the structure and transport of the coupled superstructures of organic and inorganic NCs with anisotropic shape.
