What is it about?

A paper describing how inorganic ligands replace organic ligands at the nanocrystal surface, and what are the resulting binding motifs

Why is it important?

This work will help designing all-inorganic semiconducting nanocomposites

Perspectives

For the first time, atomistic insight has been provided for the inorganic-ligand-capping of quantum dots. Such materials presently find broad applications - from electronics to thermoelectrics.
