Deck the walls : The principles of coordination chemistry and multidentate ligand design have been used to functionalize the surface of highly inert MoS 2 nanoparticles. In this approach the tetradentate nitrilotriacetic acid ligand was coupled either to a fluorescent ligand (for detection) or to a reactive polymer, which serves as an anchor to the sulfide and oxide surfaces of inorganic fullerene/MoS 2 and TiO 2 nanorods, respectively (see picture).
