  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Colloidal chemistry grants access to a wealth of materials through simple and mild reactions. However, even few elements can combine in a variety of stoichiometries and structures, potentially resulting in impurities or even wrong products. Similar issues have been long addressed in organic chemistry by using reaction-directing groups, that are added to a substrate to promote a specific product and are later removed. Inspired by such approach, we demonstrate the use of CsPbCl<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> perovskite nanocrystals to drive the phase-selective synthesis of two yet unexplored lead sulfochlorides: Pb<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Cl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and Pb<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>Cl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>. When homogeneously nucleated in solution, lead sulfochlorides form Pb<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Cl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> nanocrystals. Conversely, the presence of CsPbCl<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> triggers the formation of Pb<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>Cl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/CsPbCl<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> epitaxial heterostructures. The phase selectivity is guaranteed by the continuity of the cationic subnetwork across the interface, a condition not met in a hypothetical Pb<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Cl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/CsPbCl<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> heterostructure. The perovskite domain is then etched, delivering phase-pure Pb<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>Cl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> nanocrystals that could not be synthesized directly.</jats:p>
