Abstract

Photo-responsive CdSe quantum dots functionalized with the cyanostilbene unit are synthesized. The as-prepared quantum dot hybrid reveals a photo-tunable dual fluorescent characteristic. White light emission can be generated in situ from the hybrid through photoirradiation to adjust the relative intensities of the two complementary emissions. Luminescent color conversion through yellow, white, and blue can be realized by varying the photoirradiation time.
