Nanocrystal synthesis in an amphibious bath: Spontaneous generation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface coatings

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Universal solubility: A variety of monodisperse nanocrystals have been synthesized in an "amphibious" reaction bath consisting of an amphiphilic multidentate ligand and low-molecular-weight polyethylene glycols (PEGs). These particles are instantly soluble in nearly all solvents and retain their characteristic optical properties after dispersion (see picture). (Figure Presented)
