The intricate chemistry of the surface of semiconductor nanocrystals is crucial to tailoring their optical properties to a myriad of applications. To this end semiconductor nanocrystals with diameters of ≤2 nm are ideal test systems as most of their atoms lie at the surface and they display both a core excitonic and a redshifted surface emission band. In this thesis, temperature-dependent photoluminescence studies demonstrate that different ligand passivations alter the electron-transfer parameters of a recently developed Marcus-Jortner type electron-transfer model employing a single displaced surface state. In addition, the effects of a common ligand exchange procedure on surface stoichiometry and carrier dynamics reveal a previously unkno...
