Abstract
- Colloidal silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) have garnered significant interest in optoelectronics and biomedical applications. Direct arylation provides pathways to enhance the solution processability of particles and manipulate the photophysical and electronic properties of SiNCs. Unfortunately, existing methods employed to prepare aryl‐functionalized SiNCs are based on organometallic coupling or transition‐metal‐catalyzed strategies, which require metal‐based reagents for preactivation or the precursors and complicated post‐treatment processes for product purification. Herein, we demonstrate a metal‐free method that directly functionalizes SiNCs with aryl‐based ligands. We design a series of benzyne derivatives formed from the thermal cyclization of predesigned alkynes, allowing efficient arylation on hydride‐terminated silicon surfaces under mild conditions. These aryl‐functionalized SiNCs exhibit strong blue emissions with nanosecond‐scaled decay, suggesting the formation of a new radiative recombination channel on SiNC surfaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
