In a typical reaction, carried out on a standard Schlenk apparatus under an inert atmosphere, a few mg of TOPO capped nanocrystallites and 20 mg of the chosen mercaptocarboxylic acid were added together in methanol with stirring, after which an aliquot of 0.1 N tetramethylammonium hydroxide in propanol was dripped in carefully until the pH of the resulting solution was close to 10. Thereafter, the solution was heated at 57 °C for 6-12 h until it became optically clear. The nanocrystals were precipitated by gradual dropwise addition of THF, purified by repeated dissolution in methanol, and then, reprecipitated in THF. The resulting solid was obtained by filtering over a 0.2 μm nylon 6,6 membrane.
