Different sizes of colloidal AlSb QDs (5 to 9 nm) were produced by the controlled reaction of AlCl3 and Sb[N(Si(Me)(3))(2)](3) in the presence of superhydride. These colloidal AlSb quantum dots showed excitonic transitions in the UV-A region and a tunable band edge emission (quantum yield of up to 18%) in the blue spectral range. Among all III-V quantum dots, these quantum dots show the brightest core emission in the blue spectral region.ChemistryPhysical chemistryMaterials scienceJournal Article1520-5002475408400014Q13825
