Light harvesting of CdSe/CdS quantum dots coated with β-cyclodextrin based host–guest species through resonant energy transfer from the guests†
Abstract
Films of nano-hybrids based on red emitting CdSe/CdS QDs functionalized with perthiolated β-cyclodextrin hosting a green emitting nitrobenzoxadiazole derivative show emission harvested by the host–guest organic system through resonant energy transfer from the organic host–guest species to the QD.
