Abstract

/OLA and TeTOP. Afterward, the PNC-QD and/or PNC-MSC transformation occurs. The former is favored by a less polar environment (TOA), while the latter by a more polar environment (OLA). Paving the avenue to the inhibition of MSCs in the QD synthesis, this work brings deeper insight into the two-step model, showing that the reaction medium affects the formation and transformation of the PNC.
