Popis: Manufacturing quantum dots (QDs) and their suspensions through incorporation of surface coatings can have enormous attention in manipulating surface properties such as size, shape, and structure. The surface of engineered QDs capped by the adsorption of organic matter is known for strongly influencing their physicochemical properties, which is very useful for many biomedical and technological applications. Prerequisite for any possible applications, the effect of organic matter on the surface of nanoparticles is important. In this contribution, owing to the privileged medicinal scaffolds based on the structure of pyridine derivatives, we have synthesized cerium oxide QDs with ∼2.4 nm in size capped with anionic-rich head groups of 2-amino-3-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine (ACTP), and the assay is based on the steric stabilizing capping behavior of anionic-rich ACTP molecules on the surface of CeO2 QDs. Aggregated QDs, obtained by adding capping agent in the reaction, have been characterized by powder X-r...
