We report the characterization of carbon nanodots (CNDs) synthesized under mild and controlled conditions, that is, in a microwave reactor. The CNDs thus synthesized exhibit homogeneous and narrowly dispersed optical properties. They are thus well suited as a testbed for studies of the photophysics of carbon-based nanoscopic emitters. In addition to steady-state investigations, time-correlated single-photon counting, fluorescence up-conversion, and transient pump probe absorption spectroscopy were used to elucidate the excited-state dynamics. Moreover, quenching the CND-based emission with electron donors or acceptors helped shed light on the nature of individual states. Density functional theory and semiempirical configuration-interaction calculations on model systems helped understand the fundamental structure-property relationships for this novel type of material.
