Surface functionalization of ZnO nanoparticles with a quaternary ammonium organosilane leads to ionically modified nanoparticles. Upon exchange with a poly(ethylene glycol)‐tailed sulfonate anion (A − ), strongly photoluminescent nanoparticles result, which exhibit liquidlike behavior in the absence of solvents.
