Summary: In this paper, the binding and packing of organic ligands on the surfaces of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) are discussed, as they play a crucial role in the formation of NCs with desired properties. Due to the lack of a unique structure in NCs, a single analytical technique cannot provide a complete description of NC surface chemistry. However, solution H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is highlighted as a unique method to study the ligand shell by distinguishing between surface bound species and surface inactive residues.

Summary: Van der Waals materials have unique electronic, mechanical, and thermal properties, making them attractive for various applications. This study demonstrates that the versatility of table-top vdW X-ray sources can be expanded by introducing a tilt angle, resulting in a doubled accessible photon energy range. Furthermore, simultaneous control of electron energy and vdW structure tilt maximizes the accessible photon energy range, paving the way for highly tunable, compact X-ray sources.

Summary: This study presents a method to overcome the limitations of ligand exchange by growing an amorphous alumina shell using colloidal atomic layer deposition (c-ALD). The researchers demonstrate that c-ALD can create colloidally stable composite materials by trapping organic chromophores around the nanocrystal core. This approach allows for unique triplet energy transfer and the assembly of a triplet exciton funnel structure, which cannot be achieved through traditional ligand exchange procedures.

Summary: The study reveals that complexes of disordered proteins exhibit a high degree of local frustration, especially at the binding interface, leading to multiple bound substates with distinct frustration patterns, differently populated in complexes with different partners. This explains how specificity of disordered proteins can be achieved without a single common bound conformation and how the conflict between different interactions can be used to control the binding to multiple partners.

Summary: Ligands known as monoalkyl phosphinic acids were found to be a class of interesting ligands for the synthesis of high-temperature nanocrystals. These ligands have a reactivity intermediate between carboxylates and phosphonates, and they do not form anhydride oligomers like phosphonic acids. Nanocrystals synthesized with these ligands have low polydispersity and high quantum yield. Additionally, these ligands can be used to synthesize nanorods with high shape purity. The introduction of this intermediate class of ligands enhances the versatility of surfactant-assisted syntheses.

Summary: We introduced monoalkyl phosphinic acids as ligands for nanocrystal (NC) synthesis, which show interesting reactivity differences compared to other ligands and provide a cleaner work-up in comparison to phosphonates. In this study, we investigated the binding affinity of monoalkyl phosphinate ligands with respect to other ligands through competitive ligand exchange reactions on the surface of NCs. Our results showed that carboxylate ligands can be easily exchanged with monoalkyl phosphinic acids, while an equilibrium is reached between monoalkyl phosphinates and phosphonates, slightly favoring phosphonate. These findings enable the sophisticated use of monoalkyl phosphinic acids for NC synthesis and post-synthetic surface engineering.

Summary: In this study, zirconium and hafnium oxo clusters were synthesized using fatty acid ligands. X-ray scattering and PDF analysis were used to determine the structure of the clusters, and the conversion from Zr6 monomer to Zr12 dimer was elucidated. The catalytic performance of the oxo clusters in the esterification reaction was compared to zirconium oxide nanocrystals, showing a higher reaction rate due to their higher surface area.

Summary: The importance of nanocrystal surface chemistry in the synthesis and application of nanocrystals is discussed in this article. The characterization technique of solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is introduced, followed by the discussion of different models used to conceptualize nanocrystal surface chemistry and the prediction of surface reactions through the classification of binding motifs. The thermodynamics and kinetics of these surface reactions are analyzed, and the deciding factors for a high binding affinity, including sterics, pK (a)/pK (b), and solubility/solvent, are identified. Finally, recent ligand designs are discussed, particularly the introduction of a new ligand class: monoalkyl phosphinic acids.

Summary: Quantum dots are colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals that demonstrate size-dependent electronic and optical properties, showcasing the quantum-mechanical effect. This laboratory exercise introduces undergraduate students to colloidal nanocrystals and quantum dots. The students synthesize indium phosphide (InP) nanocrystals of three different sizes and perform a core/shell synthesis of indium phosphide cores shelled with zinc sulfide (InP/ZnS). The resulting quantum dots are characterized using quantitative UV-vis, photoluminescence, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The exercise covers concepts such as nanocrystal synthesis, colloids, Beer-Lambert law, quantum confinement, photoluminescence, and surface chemistry, providing comprehensive knowledge for both students and teachers. Indium phosphide is a safer material for undergraduate labs compared to cadmium selenide (CdSe), cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3), or lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals.

Summary: Ligands play a fundamental role in nanocrystals by controlling their synthesis and providing colloidal stability, influencing the chemical reactivity and electronic structure. Surprisingly, metal oxide nanocrystals synthesized with metal nitrate precursors in the presence of oleylamine ligands were exclusively capped with a fatty acid instead. The study revealed common reaction byproducts in the decomposition of Ce, Zn, Ni, and Zr nitrate precursors, supporting the oxidation of alkylamine and formation of a carboxylic acid on the nanocrystal surface.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
