Abstract
True colors: High‐quality InP and InP/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) are obtained by means of a simple one‐pot method in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Rapid and size‐controlled reactions lead to highly crystalline and nearly monodisperse QDs at relatively low temperatures. The particles emit from cyan blue to far‐red, and are successfully used in cellular imaging (see figure). magnified imageKeywords
