“…Selected recent results dealing with all these aspects, at least some of them, are highlighted in this series. Typically, Lehmacher et al [ 54 ] present a polyol-mediated synthesis of nitrogen-containing C-dots with 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene as a starting material. This one-pot liquid-phase synthesis provides, with a good reliability, particles with interesting features—such as a narrow size distribution (2–4 nm), high crystallinity, high dispersibility in water, and deep-red fluorescence—which may be used as emitting biomarkers for histology.…”
