Nanoparticles under the light: click functionalization by photochemical thiol-yne reaction, towards double click functionalization

Chemistry. 2013 Jun 24;19(26):8388-92. doi: 10.1002/chem.201300903. Epub 2013 Jun 6.

Abstract

A light click away: The first application of the thiol-yne reaction to nanoparticle functionalization is described (see figure). This metal-free click chemistry approach is compatible with the addition of various molecules at the surface and can be combined with CuAAC methodology to perform chemoselective double functionalization.
