Project B02/A08 - Adv. Funct. Mater.: A direct approch to organic/inorganic semiconducutor hybrid particles via funtionalized polyfluorene ligands

CdSe/polyfluorene hybrid particles are directly obtained by high temperature synthesis of CdSe nanocrystals in the presence of amine or phosphonic acid functionalized polyfluorenes. Analytical ultracentrifugation studies of these hybrid particles give a rare quantitative insight into the binding of the polyfluorene ligands to the nanocrystal. Efficient energy transfer from polyfluorene to the nanocrystal is revealed by single particle photoluminescence studies.
