Designer jackets : Polydentate amino‐functionalized poly(ethylene oxide)s with various block lengths are synthesized and used for ligand exchange and phase transfer of quantum dots and magnetic nanoparticles (see scheme; TEM images of the particles before and after the exchange are also shown). The ligands enable the transfer of the previously water‐insoluble particles into aqueous media.
