From our results on a limited range of sizes of quantum dots, the relationship between inter-ligand interaction parameters and curvature appears somewhat linear. An ordinary least squares regression on the parameters indicates that the ∆𝐻 #$%& AB term becomes less endothermic, with a slope of -22 ± 11 kJ•mol -1 of inter-ligand interactions on cadmium selenide quantum dots reacting with alkylthiols. Due to the different chemical system and mixture of bent-and straight-chains ligands utilized in the exchange reaction, these results may not translate directly to our chemical system of study.
