Cooperative Gold Nanoparticle Stabilization by Acetylenic Phosphaalkenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acetylenic phosphaalkenes (APAs) are used as a novel type of ligands for the stabilization of gold nanoparticles (AuNP). As demonstrated by a variety of experimental and analytical methods, both structural features of the APA, that is, the P=C as well as the C≡C units are essential for NP stabilization. The presence of intact APAs on the AuNP is demonstrated by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and first principle calculations indicate that bonding occurs most likely at defect sites on the Au surface. AuNP-bound APAs are in chemical equilibrium with free APAs in solution, leading to a dynamic behavior that can be explored for facile place-exchange reactions with other types of anchor groups such as thiols or more weakly binding phosphine ligands.

Alternative Synthesis and Structures of C-monoacetylenic Phosphaalkenes
An alternative synthesis of C-monoacetylenic phosphaalkenes trans-Mes*P=C(Me)(C≡CR) (Mes* = 2, 4, 6-tBu3Ph, R = Ph, SiMe3) from C-bromophosphaalkenes cis-Mes*P=C(Me)Br using standard Sonogashira coupling conditions is described. Crystallographic studies confirm cis-trans isomerization of the P=C double bond during Pd-catalyzed cross coupling, leading exclusively to trans-acetylenic phosphaalken...

متن کاملGold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular acetylenic Schmidt reaction.
Substituted pyrroles were prepared by a gold(I)-catalyzed acetylenic Schmidt reaction of homopropargyl azides. The reaction allows for regiospecific substitution at each position of the pyrrole ring under mild conditions. A mechanism in which azides serve as nucleophiles toward gold(I)-activated alkynes with subsequent gold(I)-aided expulsion of dinitrogen is proposed.
