Organic-soluble fluorescent Au8 clusters generated from heterophase ligand-exchange induced etching of gold nanoparticles and their electrochemiluminescence.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A unique heterophase ligand exchange induced etching process was used to transform gold nanoparticles into organic-soluble fluorescent gold clusters which were assigned to Au(8) by optical spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Both the annihilation electrochemiluminescence of fluorescent Au(8) clusters in organic solution and the coreactant electrochemiluminescence of Au(8) cluster film in aqueous solution were studied.

Two Distinct Fluorescent Quantum Clusters of Gold Starting from Metallic Nanoparticles by pH-Dependent Ligand Etching
Address correspondence to [email protected] ABSTRACT Two fl uorescent quantum clusters of gold, namely Au25 and Au8, have been synthesized from mercaptosuccinic acid-protected gold nanoparticles of 4 5 nm core diameter by etching with excess glutathione. While etching at pH ~3 yielded Au25, that at pH 7 8 yielded Au8. This is the fi rst report of the synthesis of two quantum clusters starting ...
متن کاملFacile syntheses of monodisperse ultrasmall Au clusters.
During our effort to synthesize the tetrahedral Au20 cluster, we found a facile synthetic route to prepare monodisperse suspensions of ultrasmall Au clusters AuN (N < 12) using diphosphine ligands. In our monophasic and single-pot synthesis, a Au precursor ClAu(I)PPh3 (Ph = phenyl) and a bidentate phosphine ligand P(Ph)2(CH2)(M)P(Ph)2 are dissolved in an organic solvent. Au(I) is reduced slowly...
متن کاملEnhanced electrochemiluminescence and charge transport through films of metallopolymer-gold nanoparticle composites.
Water-soluble 4-(dimethylamino) pyridine (DMAP) stabilized gold nanoparticles (DMAP-AuNP) were synthesized by ligand exchange and phase transfer (toluene/water). The DMAP-AuNPs are positively charged with the core diameter of 4 +/- 1 nm. Metallopolymer-gold nanocomposites were prepared by mixing gold nanoparticles and [Ru(bpy)(2)PVP(10)](ClO(4))(2), in water at different mole ratios; bpy is 2,2...
متن کاملThiol-Terminated Di-, Tri-, and Tetraethylene Oxide Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles: A Water-Soluble, Charge-Neutral Cluster
A series of gold nanoclusters stabilized by ligands containing short ethylene oxide oligomers of fixed length were prepared and characterized. The thiols CH3(OCH2CH2)nSH (where n ) 2, 3, and 4) were substituted onto the surface of 1.8-nm hexanethiol-capped gold clusters by a thiol-exchange reaction, and the resulting nanoclusters were characterized by NMR, FTIR, and UV/vis spectroscopies; TGA; ...
متن کاملFluorescent or not? Size-dependent fluorescence switching for polymer-stabilized gold clusters in the 1.1-1.7 nm size range.
The synthesis of fluorescent water-soluble gold nanoparticles by the reduction of a gold salt in the presence of a designed polymer ligand is described, the size and fluorescence of the particles being controlled by the polymer to gold ratio; the most fluorescent nanomaterial has a 3% quantum yield, a 1.1 nm gold core and a 6.9 nm hydrodynamic radius.
