Abstract:<p>In the vast majority of studies on semiconductor particles one uses ligands, respectively capping agents, which bind to the external surfaces of the particles and cover it with an electrically insulating shell. Since transport of charge carrier and/ or energy across interfaces is desirable for a large number of applications, the use of pi-conjugated ligands becomes more and more interesting. Among those, compounds which show stimuli-responsive properties, particularly molecular switches are fascinatin… Show more
