Two-photon luminescence imaging of cancer cells using molecularly targeted gold nanorods.
Nicholas J. Durr,Timothy Larson,Danielle K. Smith,Brian A. Korgel,Konstantin V Sokolov,Adela Ben-Yakar +5 more
TL;DR: Their strong signal, resistance to photobleaching, chemical stability, ease of synthesis, simplicity of conjugation chemistry, and biocompatibility make gold nanorods an attractive contrast agent for two-photon imaging of epithelial cancer.
Iodide in CTAB prevents gold nanorod formation.
TL;DR: It is reported that the impurity in CTAB obtained from some suppliers prevents nanorod growth and is iodide, which is commonly used to make large quantities of monodisperse gold nanorods.

Self-Assembled Simple Hexagonal AB2 Binary Nanocrystal Superlattices: SEM, GISAXS, and Defects
TL;DR: BSLs of sterically stabilized, hydrophobic, large and small Au nanocrystals were assembled by slow evaporation of colloidal dispersions on tilted substrates and it was revealed that the superlattice is slightly contracted perpendicular to the substrate as a result of solvent drying in the deposition process.

Tuning the synthesis of ternary lead chalcogenide quantum dots by balancing precursor reactivity.
TL;DR: This work explores the relative reaction rates of chalcogenide precursors to produce alloyed quantum dots (QDs), and finds the highly reactive bis(trimethylsilyl) (TMS(2))-based precursor allow for the homogeneous incorporation of anions.

TL;DR: Alkylselenide reagents are synthesized to replace the native oleate ligand on PbSe quantum dots (QDs) in order to investigate the effect of surface modification on their stoichiometry, photophysics, and air stability and find that attachment of the alkyl Selenide ligand to the QD surface enhances oxidative resistance.
