Surfaces are ubiquitous in nanomaterials at large. Colloidal nanocrystals provide a versatile platform to conveniently study in the solution phase the impact of surface chemistry on the electronic structure of nanomaterials. On page 14358, the impact of the post‐synthesis surface chemistry modification on the light absorption properties of colloidal quantum dots is discussed. A unified description of the contribution of the surface species to the ground state electronic structure of the overall, ligand‐coordinated quantum dot is attempted.
