Schematics of energy transfer in various UC systems. (a) ET from NCs to freely diffusing annihilators impeded by presence of long, 18-C oleic acid passivating ligands. (b) Direct ET from NCs to freely diffusing annihilators occurring when 8-C octanoic acid passivating ligands are used. (c) ET1 from NC sensitizer to 9-ACA transmitter ligand followed by ET2 from 9-ACA to DPA annihilator. The 2-ACA transmitter ligand is shown on the left of the NC; there is less wave function overlap between the 2-ACA and the NC as compared to the 9-ACA and the NC.
