Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for producing aqueous compatible semiconductor nanoparticles includes binding pre-modified ligands to nanoparticles without the need for further post-binding modification to render the nanoparticles aqueous compatible. Nanoparticles modified in this way may exhibit enhanced fluorescence and stability compared to aqueous compatible nanoparticles produced by methods requiring post-binding modification processes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method for producing aqueous compatible nanoparticles, the method comprising: providing a nanoparticle binding ligand comprising a binding group, a solubilising group precursor, and one or more ethylene oxide groups, wherein: (i) the binding group is selected from thiol groups, amino groups, oxo groups, and phospho groups, and (ii) the solubilising group precursor is selected from carboxylic acids, hydroxides, alkoxides, carboxylate esters, amines, nitro,…
