We investigated photoinduced charge transfer reactions in blends of CdSe, InP nanoparticles with conjugated polymer OC₁C₁₀-PPV. The particle size was in the range 3.1nm-4.1nm. They were capped with a HDA-TOPO TOP shell and pyridine washed. Photoinduced absorption spectroscopy (PIA) reveals structured features which are attributed to photoexcited polaronic states on the polymer chain. Additionally the photoluminescence in the blends is strongly quenched. We find a broad distribution of lifetimes and a nearly square root behaviour in the laser intensity dependence which altogether is characteristic for dispersive recombination. The temperature dependence of the PIA signal shows an unusual increase from low temperature up to 300K. By applying light induced electron spin resonance the charge transfer process between the polymer and the nanoparticles is confirmed by determining the g- factor of the polaronic anion of the polymer.
