Compact biocompatible quantum dots via RAFT-mediated synthesis of imidazole-based random copolymer ligand

We present a new class of polymeric ligands for quantum dot (QD) water solubilization to yield biocompatible and derivatizable QDs with compact size (10−12 nm diameter), high quantum yields (>50%), excellent stability across a large pH range (pH 5−10.5), and low nonspecific binding. To address th...
