Blue emission from cysteine ester passivated cadmium sulfide nanoclusters.
A one-pot synthesis is reported of water-soluble cadmium sulfide nanoclusters capped with cysteine ester, with an average size of 2.0 nm and fluorescing in the blue region, establishing the possibility of using these as fluorescent biological probes.
