Although gold is the subject of one of the most ancient themes of investigation in science, its
renaissance now leads to an exponentially increasing number of publications, especially in …

Synthetic chemists are constantly challenged to consider more environmentally benign
methods for generation of the desired target molecules. 1 Recently, there has been an …

In this report, first use of size-selected gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as matrixes for matrix
assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is described for peptides and proteins. In …

The selective oxidation of alcohols is one of the most important transformations in organic
synthesis.[1] Whilst several metal-based oxidizing reagents have been developed, these …

We illustrate here the high photocatalytic activity of sustainable lead-free metal halide
nanocrystals (NCs), namely, Cs3Sb2Br9 NCs, in the reduction of p-substituted benzyl …

The water-immiscible ionic liquid,[C4MIM][PF6], is a solvent medium that allows complete
transfer of gold nanoparticles from an aqueous phase into an organic phase. Both spherical …

We present a thermodynamic evaluation of the self-assembly of charged nanometer-sized
particles at the water/oil interface. The chemical potentials of the nanoparticles in the bulk …

In this study, a pair of core-shell Pt@ Au nanoalloy particles with 309 atoms was simulated in
various solvents, including water, benzene, ethanol, water+ benzene, and 1-butyl-1, 1, 1 …

Ordered metal nanoparticle assemblies—superlattices—have captivated and stirred the
imagination of scientists and engineers alike and promise great prospect for future …

Metal nanoparticles are currently being used as substantial catalysts for a number of
classical chemical transformations. In contrast, performing novel biochemical reactions with …
