Novel metastable cubic phase was recently discovered in tin monosulfide and monoselenide systems. Surface energy calculations and experimental studies indicate that this cubic phase is stabilized by specific ligands adsorption on the surface. The ab-initio computations with adsorbed ligands show lower surface energies for the cubic phase and for the orthorhombic phase than for the pristine surfaces. It is shown that Cl bonds are replacing the missing Sn-S bonds on the surface in the cubic structure. We observe that high ligand concentration reaching a full surface coverage enables the cubic nanoparticles to stabilize while for the same concentration the ORT nanoparticles collapse.
