Book Synthesis and Characterization of Sulfonate and Phosphonate Functionalized Monolayer Protected Gold Clusters

Download or read book Synthesis and Characterization of Sulfonate and Phosphonate Functionalized Monolayer Protected Gold Clusters written by Fiurasek Petr and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gold clusters protected with self-assembled monolayers of sodium, 10-mercaptodecanesulfonate, HS(CH2)10SO 3Na, and 11-mercaptoundecanylphosphonic acid, HS(CH2) 11PO3H2, were synthesized to provide negatively charged nanoparticles. The negatively charged end groups of the sulfonate- and phosphonate-monolayers protected clusters, SO3-MPCs and PO 3-MPCs, allowed the particles to be water soluble in addition to be stable in air, and can be dried and redissolved without change. Modifications of experimental conditions, namely the thiol:gold ratio, gold concentration and the type of surfactant, yielded MPCs of 1.8--5.7 nm core diameters with a broad range of size dispersity, and solubilities. Transmission electron microscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), UV-Visible and infrared spectroscopies, thermogravimetric and zeta-potential analyses were consistent with nanoparticle formation. The chain conformation, dynamic behavior and ordering of SO3-MPCs and PO3-MPCs were further investigated by solid-state NMR. Despite the high surface curvature of the nanoparticles and the bulky end groups, medium length chains of SO 3-MPCs (C10) and PO3-MPCs (C11) showed a high degree of organization and restricted mobility when compare to long chains of alkanethiolate MPCs (C18). The more extensive hydrogen bonding interactions between the phosphonic acid groups led to a reduced chain mobility and a higher thermal stability. The PO3-MPCs exhibit a high order-disorder transition, partial decomposition and a very marked hysteresis in the chain recrystallization similar to MPCs stabilized by HS(CH2)nCO2H. Solid-state 31P-NMR allowed studies of the hydrogen-bonded self-assembled structure in the PO3-MPCs as well as in the bulk phosphonic acid. The 1.8 nm-diameter SO3-MPCs produced large aggregates in presence of poly(diallyldimethyl-ammonium chloride) (PDADMAC). However, the encapsulation of individual particles was favored when the same polyelectrolyte" --

Download or read book Synthesis and Characterization of Monolayer Protected Gold Nanoparticles and a Gold titanium Dioxide Nanocomposite Intended for Photocatalytic Degradation of Environmental Pollutants written by Piyadarsha Amartunga and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semiconductor and metal clusters in the nanometer size regime display interesting optical, electronic and chemical properties that are size dependant. Highly monodisperse gold nanoparticles of different sizes have been synthesized and isolated by newly developed methodologies, using tiopronin as the capping ligand. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2) have been used as the photocatalytic center and gold nanoparticles have been attached on TiO2 to make a nanocomposite. According to the findings, gold nanoparticles play a vital role in enhancing the photocatalytic activity of TiO2, by facilitating the charge separation. Further, the photocatalytic activity also can be tuned by changing the gold loading on TiO2. The applicability of the nanocomposite has been evaluated towards the degradation of environmental pollutants.

Book Characterization of the Wetting Behavior of Place Exchanged Mixed monolayer protected Gold Nanoparticles

Download or read book Characterization of the Wetting Behavior of Place Exchanged Mixed monolayer protected Gold Nanoparticles written by St. Julien Palmer Rosemond (III.) and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed-monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles have been shown to have self assembling ligand shells. Given certain ligand concentrations, the NP shell can spontaneously form complex ordered domains with domain spacing as small as five angstroms. It has been proven that the solubility of NPs synthesized using a one step method is almost solely dependent on the corresponding ligand shell morphology. We have attempted to get a better understanding of the morphological differences between NPs synthesized in one step and those synthesized through place exchange by comparing their solubility characteristics. Both types NPs were functionalized using different concentrations two immiscible ligands. The place exchanged NPs almost certainly form a type of ripple shell morphology due to the presence of nonmonotonic solubility peaks in polar solvents at low hydrophilic ligand concentrations. Based on the solubility results, we conclude that the ligand shell morphology must be different for place exchanged and one step nanoparticles. The differences are most likely due to the mechanism by which place exchange populates the nanoparticles.

Download or read book Nanostructured Catalysts written by Susannah L. Scott and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-04-06 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the recent advent of nanotechnology, research and development in the area of nanostructured materials has gained unprecedented prominence. Novel materials with potentially exciting new applications are being discovered at a much higher rate than ever before. Innovative tools to fabricate, manipulate, characterize and evaluate such materials are being developed and expanded. To keep pace with this extremely rapid growth, it is necessary to take a breath from time to time, to critically assess the current knowledge and provide thoughts for future developments. This book represents one of these moments, as a number of prominent scientists in nanostructured materials join forces to provide insightful reviews of their areas of expertise, thus offering an overall picture of the state-- the art of the field. Nanostructured materials designate an increasing number of materials with designed shapes, surfaces, structures, pore systems, etc. Nanostructured materials with modified surfaces include those whose surfaces have been altered via such techniques as grafting and tethering of organic or organometallic species, or through various deposition procedures including electro, electroless and vapor deposition, or simple adsorption. These materials find important applications in catalysis, separation and environmental remediation. Materials with patterned surfaces, which are essential for the optoelectronics industry, constitute another important class of surface-modified nanostructured materials. Other materials are considered nanostructured because of their composition and internal organization.
