title: Engineering the nanoscale morphology of a quantum dot-fullerene assembly via complementary hydrogen bonding interactions.
abstract: We have demonstrated controlled assembly between CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and a fullerene (C60) derivative via complementary three-point hydrogen bonding interactions. The recognition-mediated assembly facilitated an interpenetrated network morphology and hence efficient charge transfer from QD to C60.
