N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-modified ligands were tested for coordinating and stabilizing luminescent CdSe-ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) in hydrophilic media. The coordination of NHC ligands onto QDs was found to be rapid and effective, leading to enhanced long-term colloidal stability and changes in optical and spectroscopic properties of the nanocrystals, including red-shift in absorption and fluorescence spectra and intensity changes under different storage conditions.
We have tested the ability of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-modified ligands to coordinate and stabilize luminescent CdSe-ZnS core-shell quantum dot (QD) dispersions in hydrophilic media. In particular, we probed the effects of ligand structure and coordination number on the coating affinity to the nanocrystals. We find that such NHC-based ligands rapidly coordinate onto the QDs (requiring similar to 5-10 min of reaction time), which reflects the soft Lewis base nature of the NHC groups, with its two electrons sharing capacity. Removal of the hydrophobic cap and promotion of carbenedriven coordination on the nanocrystals have been verified by H-1 NMR spectroscopy, while C-13 NMR was used to identify the formation of carbene-Zn complexes. The newly coated QD dispersions exhibit great long-term colloidal stability over a wide range of conditions. Additionally, we find that coordination onto the QD surfaces affects the optical and spectroscopic properties of the nanocrystals. These include a size-dependent red-shift of the absorption and fluorescence spectra and a pronounced increase in the measured fluorescence intensity when the samples are stored under white light exposure compared to those stored in the dark.
