<p>Here we synthesize 2-ethylhexyl, 2-hexyldecyl, 2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl, oleyl and <i>n</i>-octadecyl phosphonic acid and use them to functionalize CdSe and HfO<sub>2</sub> nanocrystals. In contrast to branched carboxylic acids, post-synthetic surface functionalization of CdSe and HfO<sub>2</sub> nanocrystals is readily achieved with branched phosphonic acids. A simple flow coating process is used to deposit ribbons of individual phosphonic acid capped HfO<sub>2</sub> nanocrystals, which are subsequently evaluated as a memristor using conductive atomic force microscopy (c-AFM). We find that 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid is a superior ligand, combining a high colloidal stability with a compact ligand shell that results in a record-low operating voltage that is promising for application in flexible electronics. </p>

Among the several types of inorganic nanoparticles available, silica nanoparticles (SNP) have earned their relevance in biological applications namely, as bioimaging agents. In fact, fluorescent SNP (FSNP) have been explored in this field as protective nanocarriers, overcoming some limitations presented by conventional organic dyes such as high photobleaching rates. A crucial aspect on the use of fluorescent SNP relates to their surface properties, since it determines the extent of interaction between nanoparticles and biological systems, namely in terms of colloidal stability in water, cellular recognition and internalization, tracking, biodistribution and specificity, among others. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the mechanisms underlying the interaction between biosystems and the SNP surfaces, making surface functionalization a relevant step in order to take full advantage of particle properties. The versatility of the surface chemistry on silica platforms, together with the intrinsic hydrophilicity and biocompatibility, make these systems suitable for bioimaging applications, such as those mentioned in this review.

Ion specific effects of ionic liquid constituents on the colloidal stability of two types of particles (positively charged amidine and polyimidazolium-functionalized sulfate latexes) were investigated in solutions containing different anions and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation.
