Zeng Lab @UF

Yet another year of our group participating in @MolecularMania!🎃 We’re glad to be sharing the wonders of our fluorescent quantum dots for the 20th anniversary of this wonderful event!

Our work on a Pb-oxo cluster has been published @InorgChem! Congratulations to Joshua and the team @gibsonjoshchem @semicluster for the interesting discovery of solvent-dependent structures and reactivity of Pb-carboxylate complexes for PbS QD synthesis. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Thrilled to see my first designed cover art featured in the special issue of Precision Chemistry: Quantum Landscape of Precision Chemistry. Grateful to my PI @Chenjie_Zeng for giving me this opportunity and opening door to this creative endeavor. pubs.acs.org/toc/pcrhej/3/8

Our review article on platinum clusters is featured on the cover of Precision Chemistry @ACSPublications! Congratulations to Isha @Isha26608362 on her beautiful artwork! pubs.acs.org/toc/pcrhej/3/8

From one to many: our work on programmable synthesis of semiconductor artificial atoms is published @NatureSynthesis. Congrats to @fuyan_ma for the persistent effort and to our collaborator Sergei Ivanov for revealing the atom-like electronic structures! nature.com/articles/s4416…

"Phoenix nirvana" 🔥🔥🔥 (in lab)

We have a postdoc position open @UFChemistry! Candidates interested in/with experience in nanocluster chemistry, ligand synthesis, nanocrystal synthesis, and/or electrochemical synthesis are welcome to apply at explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/5297…

Have you ever heard of a quantum dot? Learn more about the strange and tiny particles whose existence led to a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Very excited to participate in the @MolecularMania event and introduce beautiful fluorescent Quantum Dots made in our lab! Great event and had lots of fun 🎃🎃🎃 @UFChemistry

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexei I. Ekimov “for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots.”
