Figure 6: Interaction of MPA-CdTe QDs and [Fe2(CO)6(μ-adt)CH2C6H5] with chitosan.

(a) Photoluminescence quenching of MPA-CdTe QDs (0.86 × 10−6 mol l−1) with progressive addition of [Fe2(CO)6(μ-adt)CH2C6H5] catalyst in the absence of chitosan. (b) Photoluminescence quenching of MPA-CdTe QDs (0.86 × 10−6 mol l−1) with progressive addition of [Fe2(CO)6(μ-adt)CH2C6H5] catalyst in the presence of chitosan. (c) Transient absorption spectra of MPA-CdTe QDs (0.86 × 10−6 mol l−1) and [Fe2(CO)6(μ-adt)CH2C6H5] catalyst (5.00 × 10−5 mol l−1) in the absence (top) and presence (bottom) of chitosan in methanol/water (1:3 v-v) at pH 4.5.
