We detail the preparation of highly fluorescent quantum dots (QDs), surface-engineered with multifunctional polymer ligands that are compact and readily compatible with strain-promoted click conjugation, and the use of these nanocrystals in immunofluorescence and in vivo imaging. The ligand design combines the benefits of mixed coordination (i.e., thiol and imidazole) with zwitterion motifs, yielding sterically-stabilized QDs that present a controllable number of azide groups, for easy conjugation to biomolecules via the selec
