Abstract

The preparation, characterization, properties, and reactivity of a novel quantum-confined CdS nanocluster containing a chemically active aniline surface are described, along with three general methods for the covalent attachment of a wide scope of molecular moieties to the cluster surface. The formation of facile covalent linkages via DCC mediated amidization, secondary amine formation, and thiourea condensation is discussed and, as the ...
