Acid anhydride coated carbon nanodots: activated platforms for engineering clicked (bio)nanoconstructs Ortega-Muñoz, Mariano Vargas Navarro, Paula Hernández Mateo, Fernando Salinas-Castillo, Alfonso Capitán Vallvey, Luis Fermín Plesselova, Simona Salto González, Rafael Girón González, María Dolores López Jaramillo, Francisco Javier Santoyo-Gonzalez, Francisco Carbon dots Nanoparticles Anhydrides Click Chemistry Glycoconjugates Es la versión enviada y no tengo claro que tipo de protección tiene Activated carbon nanodots functionalized with acid anhydride groups (AA-CNDs) are prepared by the one-pot water-free green thermolysis of citric acid. As a proof of concept of their capabilities as appealing and versatile platforms for accessing engineering nanoconstructs, the as-prepared AA-CNDs have been reacted to yield clickable CNDs. Their click bioconjugation with relevant recognizable complementary clickable sugars has led to multivalent CNDs-based glyconanoparticles that are non-toxic and biorecognizable. The accessibility and intrinsic reactivity of AA-CNDs expand the current toolbox of covalent surface grafting methodologies and provide a wide range of potential applications for engineering (bio)nanoconstructs. 2025-01-30T07:17:54Z 2025-01-30T07:17:54Z 2019 journal article Nanoscale, 2019, 11, 7850–7856 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/101023 10.1039/C8NR09459D eng embargoed access Dirk Guldi, Yue Zhang
