Water-dispersed quantum dots of coordination polymers with strong photoluminescence

Abstract

Coordination polymers PZn quantum dots with a uniform diameter of 3 ± 0.5 nm were successfully prepared. The PZn QDs exhibit excellent water dispersibility, high photoluminescence, outstanding photostability and remarkable biocompatibility. The results of cellular experiments show that the PZn QDs are highly suitable for long-term cell imaging.
