Selective inclusion of anionic quantum dots in coordination network shells of nucleotides and lanthanide ions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Jun 28;46(24):4333-5. doi: 10.1039/c001012j. Epub 2010 May 12.

Abstract

Anionic quantum dots (QDs) are spontaneously enfolded by coordination networks self-assembled from nucleotide monophosphates and lanthanide ions in water; luminescent core-shell nanoparticles are specifically obtained for anionic QDs, which allows their separation from amine-modified QDs.
