چکیده
First eight-electron, Pt–Ag superatoms protected by Se-donor ligands are synthesized ligand replacement reaction. The metal framework of PtAg 20 changes from low symmetry ( C 2 ) to high T h via rearrangement five capping silver atoms.

Thermodynamic stability of ligand-protected metal nanoclusters
Despite the great advances in synthesis and structural determination of atomically precise, thiolate-protected metal nanoclusters, our understanding of the driving forces for their colloidal stabilization is very limited. Currently there is a lack of models able to describe the thermodynamic stability of these 'magic-number' colloidal nanoclusters as a function of their atomic-level structural ...
متن کامل4-Hydroxythiophenol-Protected Gold Nanoclusters in Aqueous Media
Gold nanoclusters protected by a monolayer of 4-hydroxythiophenol (HOPhSAu MPCs) were synthesized and characterized by various analytical techniques. The particles were found to be soluble in alkaline aqueous solutions, whereas at low pH, flocculation of particles started to occur. Acid/base titration of particle solutions indicated that the pKa of particle-bound phenol moieties was close to 10...
متن کاملModeling the photosensitizing properties of thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters.
An accurate computational strategy for studying the structural, redox and optical properties of thiolated gold nanoclusters (GNCs) using (Time-Dependent) Density Functional Theory is proposed. The influence of the pseudopotential/basis set, solvent description and the choice of the functional has been investigated to model the structural and electronic properties of the Au25(SR)18(-) system, wi...
متن کاملAbsolute standard redox potential of monolayer-protected gold nanoclusters.
The redox properties of monolayer-protected gold nanoclusters (MPCs) are considered from both the theoretical and experimental viewpoints. The "absolute standard redox potential" ([E0((z/z)-1))]abs) of MPCs is first derived from electrostatic considerations. A linear dependence of the absolute standard redox potential on the valence state of MPCs is theoretically predicted and verified experime...
متن کاملPolarization properties of fluorescent BSA protected Au25 nanoclusters.
BSA protected gold nanoclusters (Au25) are attracting a great deal of attention due to their unique spectroscopic properties and possible use in biophysical applications. Although there are reports on synthetic strategies, spectroscopy and applications, little is known about their polarization behavior. In this study, we synthesized the BSA protected Au25 nanoclusters and studied their steady s...
