DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Quantum dots are recognized as the core materials of a new generation luminescent agents for biolabelling applications. This project will establish proof-of-concept for a new class of non-toxic, metal free quantum dot-like materials. We will synthesize these new materials, derivatize them for water solubility, and characterize their compositions and their emission properties. These materials have particular properties which give them quantum-dot emissivity, and are safe and readily modifiable for different applications. The platform for new QD agents created in this project will offer superior fluorophores for biological and medial imaging.

描述（由申请人提供）：量子点被认为是用于生物标记应用的新一代发光剂的核心材料。该项目将为一类新的无毒、无金属量子点材料建立概念验证。我们将合成这些新材料，衍生它们的水溶性，并表征其组成和发射特性。这些材料具有特殊的性质，使它们具有量子点发射率，并且安全且易于修改以用于不同的应用。该项目中创建的新QD试剂平台将为生物和医学成像提供上级荧光团。
