Title: It should be as concise as possible (e.g. Nickel-Catalyzed Hydrocyanation of Alkynes) John S. Smith,’ Departamento de Quimica, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Bogotd, 111321 Bogota, Colombia. Email: jssmith@unal.edu.co ABSTRACT: Maximum 1000 characters (with spaces). Here, at the beginning, you must show what you are going to write about (your catalytic process). You should highlight in one sentence, why your catalytic process is important, After, you must summarize what you are presenting. Finally, you should end up with your relevant conclusions. Please keep in mind that excellent scientific texts written in English have no fong sentences. You should be concise in every sentence. Spanish speakers use to write as long sentences as possible! Introduction In this section, you have to start with the history of your catalytic process. How it did appear, who or which was the first report on this reaction. The impartance af the process and applications found so far should be highlighted as well Of course, all important information must be referenced with a superscript (see reference section and follow the format you will find there). You must say which metals are able to catalyze the process (if so). Please do your work with only fone metal, however, the selection has to be justified (i. a scientific reason why you selected a specific metal must be civen). Furthermore, you must finish by saying what you ate presenting in the whole manuserigt Results You can highlight here sub-sections, if you want, with bold fond. (Catalytic cycle, scope of reaction, catalysts, etc). In this section you must explain as detailed as possible (please keep in mind that maximum length of this manuscript is 4 ages) the catalytic cycle, the scope of the reaction, the different catalytic systems published so far (activity, efficiency, selectivity must be painted out in the text). The mechanistic proposals must be explained in detail (ie. electron counting, and oxidation states of each species must appear, as well as the explanation of every reaction that takes place in each step). Moreover, the steps that have been experimentally demonstrated must be stated in the text, Regaiding to those steps not demonstrated so far, you must propose a smart way to figure them out. Finally, based on your knowledge acquired during both the course and the catalytic process, you must propose and well justified a catalytic system (tailor-made ligands) you would expect to shaw a better activity and/or selectivity in the reaction and explain why. The figures must be clear, The titles of the figures must be concise, Do not forget that a good picture is worth a thousand words!a b 9 Intensity far.) oo oxePez oa “yo” 5 100 Shy ato 00 Shera shit oem) 02 mo aero 100 0100 a0 a0 Wavelength (om) Gemical stilt (apm) Figure 1: a, Absorption spectrum of InP QDs solution. b.

This study shows that the nature and the quality of the interface layer of InP-based core/shell QDs are key perameters and, they require to be controlled in order to optimize their phatoluminescence properties. We have demonstrated that via the aminophosphine-based InP QDs synthesis we can obtain oxide-free nanomaterial, However in the case of oxide-free core/shell InP QDs, the pure II-V to I-VI junetion results In interface defects. We have shown thet InP/2nS and InP/ZnSe QDs with the highest PLOY ere obtained when an oxidation layer is present at the cote/shell interface. This oxide interface plays the role of buffer layer mitigating the II/V IVVI mismatch. However, this beneficial effect is limited (detrimental influence on the FWHM) in particular because this is @ zone in which several defects are incorporated. Other materials presenting @ better compatibility with InP in terms of lattice mismatch and band alignment has to be sought. In this sense, an interesting potential candidate is GaP which has shown to improve the InP-based core/shell QDs emission properties." This work thus, paves the way for designing @ new generation of highly performing QDs including materials at the interface of InP core and Zn-based shell but also oxide-free material in order to avoid oxide-derived dangling bonds.
