Assembly of tetrameric dimethyltin-functionalized selenotungstates: from nanoclusters to one-dimensional chains.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two unprecedented tetrameric selenotungstates based on different Wells-Dawson-type fragments have been obtained: the {Sn7Se8W54} nanocluster exhibiting photocatalytic H2 evolution activity and the {Sn16Se11W56} chain, which are the first dimethyltin-functionalized selenotungstates reported and contain the unique {β-Se2W15} and {γ-Se2W14} building blocks, respectively.

Formation, self-assembly and transformation of a transient selenotungstate building block into clusters, chains and macrocycles.
The one-pot syntheses of a series of dimeric and trimeric selenotungstates based on the [Se2W12O46](12-) unit are presented alongside the structure of the tetrameric [Se8W48O176](32-) wheel. Mass spectrometry has probed the stability of these clusters whilst their electronic structure has been contrasted to their known phosphotungstate analogues.
متن کاملDNA-directed assembly of asymmetric nanoclusters using Janus nanoparticles.
Asymmetric assembly of nanomaterials has attracted broad interests because of their unique anisotropic properties that are different from those based on the more widely reported symmetric assemblies. Despite the potential advantages, programmable fabrication of asymmetric structure in nanoscale remains a challenge. We report here a DNA-directed approach for the assembly of asymmetric nanocluste...
متن کاملReversible Photoisomerization of Spiropyran on the Surfaces of Au25 Nanoclusters.
Au25 nanoclusters functionalized with a spiropyran molecular switch are synthesized via a ligand-exchange reaction at low temperature. The resulting nanoclusters are characterized by optical and NMR spectroscopies as well as by mass spectrometry. Spiropyran bound to nanoclusters isomerizes in a reversible fashion when exposed to UV and visible light, and its properties are similar to those of f...
متن کاملDirecting Anisotropic Assembly of Metallic Nanoclusters by Exploiting Linear Trio Interactions and Quantum Size Effects: Au Chains on Ag(100) Thin Films.
Discovery and understanding of mechanisms for kinetically controlled growth of metal nanoclusters can be enabled by realistic atomistic-level modeling with ab initio kinetics. KMC simulation of such a model for Au deposition on Ag(100) films reveals the formation of single-atom-wide Au chains below 275 K, even though 2D islands are thermodynamically preferred. Chain formation is shown to reflec...
متن کاملReal-time ab initio KMC simulation of the self-assembly and sintering of bimetallic epitaxial nanoclusters: Au + Ag on Ag(100).
Far-from-equilibrium shape and structure evolution during formation and post-assembly sintering of bimetallic nanoclusters is extremely sensitive to the periphery diffusion and intermixing kinetics. Precise characterization of the many distinct local-environment-dependent diffusion barriers is achieved for epitaxial nanoclusters using density functional theory to assess interaction energies bot...
