A versatile room-temperature method for the preparation of customized fluorescent non-conjugated polymer dots

We present a general procedure for the synthesis and in situ functionalization of highly fluorescent non-conjugated polymer dots, by exploiting the room-temperature carbodiimide-mediated condensation between citric acid and amines. The versatility of this method is proved by the preparation and char...

Description
Summary:We present a general procedure for the synthesis and in situ functionalization of highly fluorescent non-conjugated polymer dots, by exploiting the room-temperature carbodiimide-mediated condensation between citric acid and amines. The versatility of this method is proved by the preparation and characterization of a broad set of fluorescent nanoparticles with customized polymer structures and functional groups. [Display omitted] •The rational design of highly fluorescent non-conjugated polymer dots was achieved.•Pathways for in situ functionalization were successfully demonstrated.•Polymer dots with defined chemical structure and functionalities were obtained.
