1 H NMR data were performed using an established modified Ising model simulation. In this model, each square nanocrystal grid point was given an initial designation of an organic ligand (indium myristate or indium stearate), and the size of the grid was determined by the concentration of bound organic ligands per quantum dot as determined by 1 H NMR. A second grid was designated as the free ligand grid where free organic ligands and inorganic ligands (zinc chloride) could be placed in the simulation, mimicking both the excess free ligands present in the quantum dot solutions as determined by 1 H NMR and added inorganic ligands. A random point in both grids was selected, and if the sites had different identities, the Gibbs free energy of exchange was calculated.
