ligand-ligand interactions can reduce the rate of electron transfer in hybrid nanomaterials

Caption

Chemists from Rice University and the University of Texas at Austin showed that adding more charge-accepting ligands to the surface of semiconducting nanocrystals can produce ligand-ligand interactions that reduce the rate of electron transfer in hybrid nanomaterials.
