47 , 48 In line with microscopic analyses, the FACS results showed a trend to increase the cellular absorption of OEG+ GNRs depending on the length of the side chain of cationic ligand, where the ligands with four (OEG 4 ) and five (OEG 5 ) ethylene glycol units in the chain were taken up more effectively compared to ligands with three ethylene glycol units in the chain (OEG 3 ).
