Monodisperse Cs 2 Mo 6 X 14 @SiO 2 (X = Cl, Br, I) luminescent nanoparticles are synthesized by a water‐in‐oil microemulsion technique. They emit in the red and near‐infrared window (600–900 nm), a region of interest for bio‐imaging technologies. Microscopy studies (SEM, TEM and HAADF‐STEM, see figure) show a good dispersion of the [Mo 6 X 14 ] 2– anions within the @SiO 2 nanoparticles and that the nanoparticles are homogeneous with a regular spherical shape of 45 nm diameter.
