چکیده

Stabilization of monolayers at the organic-aqueous interface by citrate protected Au nanoparticles is shown to affect the interfacial dynamics and this effect is manifested in the oscillations of the interfacial potential. Variation in the size and concentration of the nanoparticles systematically affects the oscillations, attributed to particle-induced stabilization of monolayers. A structural model of the monolayer to account for the observed changes is proposed. D 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Chemical Reactivity of Naphthalenecarboxylate-Protected Ruthenium Nanoparticles: Intraparticle Charge Delocalization Derived from Interfacial Decarboxylation

Ruthenium nanoparticles were prepared by thermolytic reduction of RuCl3 in 1,2-propanediol containing sodium 2-naphthalenecarboxylate. Transmission electron microscopic measurements showed that the average diameter of the resulting 2naphthalenecarboxylate-protected ruthenium nanoparticles (RuCOONA) was 1.30 ± 0.27 nm. Interestingly, hydrothermal treatment of the nanoparticles at controlled temp...

Alkyne-functionalized ruthenium nanoparticles: ruthenium-vinylidene bonds at the metal-ligand interface.

Stable ruthenium nanoparticles were prepared by the self-assembly of 1-dodecyne onto the "bare" Ru colloid surface. The formation of a Ru-vinylidene (Ru═C═CH-R) interfacial bonding linkage was confirmed by the specific reactivity of the nanoparticles with imine derivatives to form a heterocyclic complex at the metal-ligand interface, as manifested in (1)H and (13)C NMR, photoluminescence, and e...

Electrocatalytic activity of alkyne-functionalized AgAu alloy nanoparticles for oxygen reduction in alkaline media.

1-Dodecyne-functionalized AgAu alloy nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction of metal salt precursors at varied initial feed ratios. Transmission electron microscopic measurements showed that the nanoparticles were all rather well dispersed with the average core diameter in the narrow range of 3 to 5 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies confirmed the formation of AgAu allo...
