چکیده
In this report, we evaluate the present state of the rapidly emerging field of monolayer-protected cluster (MPC) molecules with regard to their synthesis and monolayer functionalization, their core and monolayer structure, their composition, and their properties. Finally, we canvass some of the important remaining research opportunities involving MPCs.

Radical-induced Core Destruction of Monolayer-protected Metal Clusters
Chlorine radicals formed by the UV irradiation of solvents such as CCl 4 react with alkanethiolate-protected gold and silver clusters forming the corresponding metal salts and variously halogenated disul®des. Reaction rates depend on the chain length of the monolayer; whereas the reaction is over within tens of seconds for clusters protected with shorter chain monolayers, those with longer chai...
متن کاملSub-nanometer Au monolayer-protected clusters exhibiting molecule-like electronic behavior: quantitative high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and electrochemical characterization of clusters with precise atomic stoichiometry.
The synthesis and characterization of the clusters Au13[PPh3]4[S(CH2)11CH3]2Cl2 (1) and Au13[PPh3]4[S(CH2)11CH3]4 (2) are described. These mixed-ligand, sub-nanometer clusters, prepared via exchange of dodecanethiol onto phosphine-halide gold clusters, show enhanced stability relative to the parent. The characterization of these clusters features the precise determination of the number of gold ...
متن کاملGas phase aggregates of protected clusters
29 kDa gold cluster molecules with thiol protection were synthesized and size separated by chromatography. Their direct laser desorption leads to large scale clustering and the mass spectral features extend up to 500 kDa. Effect of alkanethiol chain length on clustering suggests that monolayer interaction is the key to this phenomenon. Role of different matrices on clustering in the matrix assi...
متن کاملDynamics of alkyl chains in monolayer protected metal clusters and their superlattices
Alkyl chains dynamics in monolayer protected metal cluster (MPC) systems of gold and silver have been studied by the quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) technique. Isolated MPCs investigated are 6, 12 and 18 carbon n-alkyl chain thiolate protected 4 nm diameter gold clusters while the superlattices are their silver analogues. Evolution of dynamics with temperature is found to be very differe...
متن کاملImmobilization of antibodies on the self-assembled monolayer by antigen-binding site protection and immobilization kinetic control
The orientation of the biological molecule immobilized on a solid surface has been critical in development of various applications. In this study, orientation of antibody was retained by protecting the antigen-binding site of the antibody prior to immobilization to -functionalized mixed self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 12-mercaptododecanoic acid and 1-heptanethiol. More importantly, the numbe...
