52. Minor differences in rates of decomposition were attributed to the spectral intensities of the mercury lamp that was used.
53. A similar explanation has been reported for the high tendency of excited CdS microcrystals, covered with viologen-functionalized thiols, to donate electrons to solution acceptors: Torimoto, T.; Maeda, K.; Maenaka, J.; Yoneyama, H. J. Phys. Chem. 1994, 98, 13658.

57. The fluorescence counts for coumarin could only be used qualitatively since we found that part of the coumarin emission was quenched by the NC (not shown).
58. It has been known that the superoxide anion has reasonable stability in DMF (Boon, P. J.; Olm, M. T.; Symons, M. C. R. J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans. 1988, 84, 3341) The authors do mention that part of the superoxide anion adds to the carbonyl group of DMF, but this species is presumably also strongly basic.
59. We found similar results with 72 Å NC covered with ligand 2. Thus, coumarin was efficiently formed from these NC using 620 nm light. However, the tendency for the thiol ligands to detach upon dissolution was dramatically higher for these NC than for the 31 Å NC. Therefore, 72 Å NC are of limited use and are not explicitedly discussed in this paper.

66. - as supporting electrolyte. Platinum itself was shown not to induce isomerization of the cinnamate by coordination chemistry.
67. Interestingly, electrolysis of 8 at +0.9 V was accompanied by vast decomposition of the radical cation, thereby excluding any mechanisms that involve the radical cation in explaining the coumarin formation from the NC.
68. At wavelengths < 440 nm, the same proposed mechanisms will hold true but now isomerization can also occur by direct absorption of the light by the surface cinnamates. The latter pathway was predictable and not of high interest.

71. The rate of coumarin formation from cinnamates in solution can be increased as much as 1000-10 000-fold by simply switching from DMF to water or ethanol instead. This is a result of acid-catalysis of the lactonization step.
