On the dot : A water‐soluble single‐source precursor has been used in the synthesis of CdS quantum dots passivated with a nucleotide in an aqueous one‐pot reaction (see figure). The crystal structure of the decomposition product of a single‐source precursor, 3‐methyl‐5‐(1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroxybutyl)oxazolidine‐2‐thione is also presented. A new decomposition mechanism is suggested that compliments existing routes.
