Ligands Explained
The ligand is basically made of a hydrocarbon chain with functional groups, which determine the chemical properties of the ligand. We will use the mercapto group, which binds to the Quantum Dot, and the hydrophilic carboxylic acid.
While keeping the functional groups constant, we will focus on altering the hydrocarbon chain length of the ligand, which affects physical properties.
