Abstract
Embodiments of the invention involve semiconductor nanoparticle capping ligands, their production and use. Ligands may have the formulawith m ranging from approximately 8 to approximately 45. An embodiment provides a method of forming a compound of the formulaincluding the steps of providing a first starting material comprising poly(ethyleneglycol) and reacting the first starting material with a second starting material comprising a functional group for chelating to the surface of a nanoparticle to thereby form the compound.
