A: The dynamic equilibrium of ligands in colloidal metal chalcogenide QDs is significantly affected by solvent polarity and viscosity. Aliphatic and more polar solvents enhance ligand solvation and their displacement from the QD surface, while aromatic solvents lead to broader NMR resonances and slower ligand diffusion. Conversely, aliphatic solvents such as dichloromethane-d2, chloroform-d, and hexane-d14 produced relatively narrow resonances.
