16. In a recent communication (S. Jeong, M. Achermann, J. Nanda, S. Ivanov, V. I. Klimov, J. A. Hollingsworth, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 10126), it was determined that the effect of thiols on the PL of NCs depends on the concentration of thiolate ions. For high thiol concentrations (such as the one we employed), the ensemble PL is decreased.

18. We chose a Gaussian distribution as an example. Other types of continuous distributions will lead to similar results.
