N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands for Au Nanocrystal Stabilization and Three-Dimensional Self-Assembly

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have emerged as a new class of ligands for materials chemistry that appears particularly relevant for the stabilization and functionalization of metal nanoparticles (NPs). The particular properties and high synthetic flexibility of NHCs make them highly attractive tools for the development of new (nano)materials and the fundamental study of their properties. The r...

Self-lubricating nanoparticles: self-organization into 3D-superlattices during a fast drying process.

Fluorinated tetraethylene glycol-stabilized Au nanoparticles (FTEG-AuNPs) were well-dispersed in general polar organic solvents, such as methanol (MeOH) and THF. The cast film of FTEG-AuNPs on a TEM grid and a glass substrate was found to form a highly ordered 3D-superlattice assembly, whereas tetraethylene glycol-stabilized AuNPs (TEG-AuNPs) provide an amorphous AuNP aggregation. These data in...

AuICl-bound N-heterocyclic carbene ligands form MII4(LAuCl)6 integrally gilded cages.

The incorporation of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) moiety into a self-assembled MII4L6 cage framework required the NHC first to be metallated with gold(i). Bimetallic cages could then be constructed using zinc(ii) and cadmium(ii) templates, showing weak luminescence. The cages were destroyed by the addition of further gold(i) in the form of AuI(2,4,6-trimethoxybenzonitrile)2SbF6, which caused...

Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy for Structural Characterization of 3D Gold Nanoparticle Superlattices

We prepared micrometer-sized three-dimensional (3D) superlattices of gold nanoparticles protected by Nacetylglutathione (NAG). The nanoparticles were self-assembled at an air/water interface under a highly acidic condition. Morphological studies revealed that the superlattices formed fivefold symmetric structures such as decahedron and icosahedron, which were probably developed by multiple twin...

Pyridylidene ligand facilitates gold-catalyzed oxidative C–H arylation of heterocycles

Triaryl-2-pyridylidene effectively facilitates the gold-catalyzed oxidative C-H arylation of heteroarenes with arylsilanes as a unique electron-donating ligand on gold. The employment of the 2-pyridylidene ligand, which is one of the strongest electron-donating N-heterocyclic carbenes, resulted in the rate acceleration of the C-H arylation reaction of heterocycles over conventional ligands such...
