Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a method of use for surface-modifying a semiconductor nanocrystal comprising at least the steps consisting in having a semiconductor nanocrystal, the organic coating layer of which is provided, at the outer surface of the nanocrystal, with at least one reactive group G1 that reacts according to a cycloaddition reaction of click chemistry type; and bringing said nanocrystal together with an adjoining material provided at the surface with at least one G2 group complementary to the G1 group with respect to said click chemistry reaction, under conditions favorable to the interaction of said G1 and G2 groups, characterized in that said G1 and G2 groups are respectively an azide and a strained cycloalkynyl radical, or vice versa.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of disubstituted alkynes for the functionalisation of the surface of a substrate consisting of a semi-conductor material, with molecules of interest. According to the invention, a compound of formula A-(E1)n1-F1 is used, wherein A is a linear or cyclic disubstituted alkyne, E1 is an alkyl chain and n2 is 0 or 1, and F1 is a reactive group that can react with the reactive group F2 of a compound of formula F2-(E2)n2-X wherein E2 is an alkyl chain and X is a group having properties of interest. The invention is especially applicable to the field of molecular biology or biotechnology.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds comprising a cycloalkyne or heterocycloalkyne group and a redox group. Said compounds are of general formula (I) wherein Z is a cycloalkyne or heterocycloalkyne with at least 8 links, optionally substituted by a halogen atom or a linear or branched C1 to C5 alkyl, A is an organic structure having oxidation-reduction properties, and B is an organic link between the cycloalkyne or heterocycloalkyne cycle and the organic structure A. The invention is especially applicable to the field of molecular electronics.

Abstract: The invention relates to a silane compound including a cycloalkyne functionality, to a method for functionalising a solid substrate, and to the solid substrate thus produced. The silane compound of the invention corresponds to the formula X-E-A-Z where X is a silyl group, E is an organic spacer group, A is a single bond or a —CONH—, —NHCO—, —OCH2CONH—, —NHCOCH2O—, —O— or —S— group, and Z is a cycloalkyne or heterocycloalkyne with at least 8 members. The invention is particularly suitable for use in the field of medicine.

Abstract: The present invention is targeted at a novel coupling method of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition type which is of particular use for the functionalization of biological molecules, such as, for example, proteins, enzymes or nucleic acids, insofar as it can be carried out in an aqueous medium and at ambient temperature.
