In late 2016, Saha et al. reported on synthesis of cadmium selenide nanoparticles and discussed photoluminescence behavior of this material in presence of liquid crystals [1]. Unfortunately, some of the data as presented by the authors are in strong conflict with the explanation. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
