Title: Quantifying the Thermodynamics of Ligand Binding to CsPbBr 3 Quantum Dots

Abstract

We report that cesium lead halide perovskites are an emerging class of quantum dots (QDs) that have shown promise in a variety of applications; however, their properties are highly dependent on their surface chemistry. To this point, the thermodynamics of ligand binding remain unstudied. 1H NMR methods are used to quantify the thermodynamics of ligand exchange on CsPbBr 3 QDs. Both oleic acid and oleylamine native ligands dynamically interact with the CsPbBr 3 QD surface, having individual surface densities of 1.2–1.7 nm –2. 10-Undecenoic acid undergoes an exergonic exchange equilibrium with bound oleate (K eq = 1.97) at 25 °C while 10-undecenylphosphonic acid undergoes an irreversible ligand exchange. Undec-10-en-1-amine exergonically exchanges with oleylamine (K eq = 2.52) at 25 °C. Finally, exchange occurs with carboxylic acids, phosphonic acids, and amines on CsPbBr 3 QDs without etching the nanocrystal surface; increases in steady-state PL intensities are correlated with more strongly bound conjugate base ligands.
