Controlled growth and catalytic activity of gold monolayer protected clusters in presence of borohydride salts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the presence of large excesses of borohydride salts, gold monolayer protected-clusters can be grown to larger sizes simply by controlling the amount of reducing agent added to smaller clusters. In addition, gold monolayer clusters can be used as catalysts for reduction reactions by sodium borohydride; results suggest such catalysts have sterically constrained active sites.

متن کاملActivation Strategies for Enhancement the Catalytic Activity of Gold Nanocatalysts
Recent advances in nanoscience have led to the development of numerous methodologiesfor controlled synthesis of mono dispersed nanoparticles and/or nanoclusters via surface stabilization by organic capping ligands. The application of these nanoparticles in catalysis and other fields often requires the removal of organic ligands. It is known that the removal of organic capping agents or or...
متن کاملPreparation temperature dependence of size and polydispersity of alkylthiol monolayer protected gold clusters.
The influence of preparation temperature on the size and size distribution of dodecylthiol monolayer protected gold clusters was studied. The monolayer protected clusters (MPCs) were synthesized by two different variations of the Brust-Schiffrin procedure. In all of the experiments, the stoichiometry of the reactants dodecylthiol, HAuCl(4), and sodium borohydride was kept constant, while the te...
متن کاملRadical-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...
