Interfacial reactivity of ruthenium nanoparticles protected by ferrocenecarboxylates.

چکیده
Stable ruthenium nanoparticles protected by ferrocenecarboxylates (RuFCA) were synthesized by thermolytic reduction of RuCl3 in 1,2-propanediol. The resulting particles exhibited an average core diameter of 1.22 ± 0.23 nm, as determined by TEM measurements. FTIR and (1)H NMR spectroscopic measurements showed that the ligands were bound onto the nanoparticle surface via Ru-O bonds in a bidentate configuration. XPS measurements exhibited a rather apparent positive shift of the Fe2p binding energy when the ligands were bound on the nanoparticle surface, which was ascribed to the formation of highly polarized Ru-O interfacial bonds that diminished the electron density of the iron centers. Consistent results were obtained in electrochemical measurements where the formal potential of the nanoparticle-bound ferrocenyl moieties was found to increase by ca. 120 mV. Interestingly, galvanic exchange reactions of the RuFCA nanoparticles with Pd(ii) followed by hydrothermal treatment at 200 °C led to (partial) decarboxylation of the ligands such that the ferrocenyl moieties were now directly bonded to the metal surface, as manifested in voltammetric measurements that suggested intervalence charge transfer between the nanoparticle-bound ferrocene groups.

Ruthenium nanoparticles protected by ruthenium–nitrene p bonds were prepared by refluxing ‘‘bare’’ ruthenium colloids (2.12 0.72 nm in diameter) and 4-dodecylbenezenesulfonyl azide in secbutylbenzene. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the resulting nanoparticles showed that on average there were about 84.1 ligands on the nanoparticle surface. XPS studies showed a 1 : 1 atomic ratio between ni...

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...

Ruthenium nanoparticles were stabilized by the self-assembly of 1-decyne forming ruthenium-vinylidene interfacial bonds and further functionalized by metathesis reactions with 4-ethynyl-N,N-diphenylaniline (EDPA) and 9-vinylanthracene (VAN). Photoluminescence studies of the resulting bifunctionalized Ru(EDPA/VAN) nanoparticles showed that as both ligands were bound onto the nanoparticle surface...
متن کاملAlkyne-stabilized ruthenium nanoparticles: manipulation of intraparticle charge delocalization by nanoparticle charge States.
Monolayer-protected transition metal nanoparticles are a unique family of functional nanomaterials in which the properties of the materials can be readily manipulated not only by the chemical nature of the metal cores and the organic protecting ligands, but also the metal–ligand interfacial bonding interactions. The latter is largely motivated by recent progress in nanoparticle passivation by m...
