Abstract

Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition “click” reaction with functional quantum dots and magnetic nanoparticles in water is presented. The introduction of “click” enabling groups on the surface of the nanoparticles is combined into one step with a transfer into water process. Reaction between acetylene and azide groups is used for the fabrication of covalent spherical assemblies in solution.
