Since the discovery of Quantum Dots (QDs) by Alexey I. Ekimov in 1981, the interest of
researchers in that particular type of nanomaterials (NMs) with unique optical and electrical …

The possibilities offered by 1H solution NMR for the study of colloidal nanocrystal ligands
are reviewed. Using CdSe and PbSe nanocrystals with tightly bound oleate ligands as …

Polymers are macromolecules that consist of repeating structural units, called monomers,
connected by covalent chemical bonds. Homopolymers consist of only one type of repeating …

We use solution NMR techniques to analyze the organic/inorganic interface of CdSe
quantum dots (Q-CdSe) synthesized using oleic acid as a surfactant. It is shown that the …

This book explores important new NMR spectroscopic methods and describes and
compares the application of NMR to a large variety of useful materials with results from other …

“Chimie douce” based strategies allow, through the deep knowledge of materials chemistry
and processing, the birth of the molecular engineering of nanomaterials. This feature article …

We use 1H and 31P solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to analyze the
binding of phosphonic acid ligands to wurtzite CdSe quantum dots (CdSe QDs). CdSe QDs …

This review outlines the set of technical approaches to answering three major questions
about the surface chemistry of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs):(i) What is the …

Recently, solution NMR-based approaches have been developed that represent useful new
tools for the in situ characterization of the cap** ligand in colloidal nanocrystal …

Advances in nanotechnology have resulted in a library of functional nanomaterials with well-
defined size, shape, composition, and surface functionalities that enable the conversion of …
