The fabrication of polymer/Cu2S nanoparticle hybrid films is described, in which metal–ligand interactions are used to self-organize Cu2+-neutralized polyelectrolytes and pyridine-containing polymers into alternately deposited multilayers, as illustrated in the Figure, where the circles represent the copper salt and the polygons the pyridine moiety.
