39. The shell thickness was determined by subtracting the core diameter, estimated according to ref 28, from the core-shell diameter, measured by transmission electron microscopy.
40. The differential pulse voltammogram of n -decanethiol, recorded under otherwise identical conditions, shows only an irreversible oxidation at +0.54 V vs Ag/AgCl (3 M KCl). Thus, the peaks (Figure 3) observed for dispersions of the quantum dots cannot be assoiated with free organic ligands present in solution and must be a result of the participation of the inorganic components in the redox proesses.
