Freezing the self-assembly process of gold nanocrystals.

چکیده
The ability to stop the self-assembly of gold nanocrystals at a desired stage of the process provides new leverage to understand and control the dynamics of self-assembly. Herein, competitive ligands are used to unfavor the interaction of the cross-linker with the gold surface and terminate the growth reaction of gold nanoparticles and nanorod chains.

Engineering Nano-aggregates: β-Cyclodextrin Facilitates the Thiol-Gold Nanoparticle Self-Assembly
The structure and morphology of nonmaterial formed by colloidal synthesis represent a subject of interest as it is a factor deciding the physicochemical properties and biological applications of nanostructures. Among various nanoparticles, gold can develop fractal assembled patterns. Herein, we report a nano-aggregate of a thiol-on-gold self-assembled structure and the influence of β-cyclodextr...
متن کاملDetermination of mercury (II) by spectrophotometric method based on self assembly of gold nanoparticles
Due to the binding of the –COO- group with the mercury (II), gold nanoparticlesfunctionalized with glutathione can self-assemble to form a supermolecular network in the HAc-NaAc buffer solution. The aggregation of functionalized gold nanoparticles and mercury (II)caused the shift of maximum absorption peak of the UV-Vis spectrum from 520 nm to 609 nm.Based on this principle, a simple spectropho...
متن کاملShape-dependent ordering of gold nanocrystals into large-scale superlattices
Self-assembly of individual building blocks into highly ordered structures, analogous to spontaneous growth of crystals from atoms, is a promising approach to realize the collective properties of nanocrystals. Yet the ability to reliably produce macroscopic assemblies is unavailable and key factors determining assembly quality/yield are not understood. Here we report the formation of highly ord...
متن کاملSome properties of spherical and rod-shaped semiconductor and metal nanocrystals*
In this paper, we summarize our results on the effect of changing size and shape of semiconductor and metallic nanocrystals. The change in size (from 3.5 to 1.1 nm) and shape (from spherical to rod) of CdSe nanocrystals is found to affect both their optical and nonradiative properties. In gold quasi-spherical nanocrystals, results on the dependence of the electron-phonon relaxation of the surro...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly and Integration of Ordered, Robust, Three-Dimensional Gold Nanocrystal/Metal Oxide Superlattices
We report the synthesis of a new nanocrystal (NC) mesophase through self-assembly of water-soluble NCmicelles with soluble silica. The mesophase comprises gold nanocrystals arranged within a silica matrix in a facecentered-cubic lattice with cell dimensions that are adjustable through control of the nanocrystal diameter and/or the alkane chain lengths of the primary alkanethiol stabilizing liga...
