Flexible and highly stable electrospun nanofibrous membrane incorporating gold nanoclusters as an efficient probe for visual colorimetric detection of Hg (II)

A Senthamizhan, A Celebioglu, T Uyar - Journal of Materials Chemistry …, 2014 - pubs.rsc.org
Here, we describe the visual colorimetric detection of Hg2+ based on a flexible fluorescent
electrospun nanofibrous membrane (NFM). It is an efficient approach, in which we have …

Permanent excimer superstructures by supramolecular networking of metal quantum clusters

B Santiago-Gonzalez, A Monguzzi, JM Azpiroz, M Prato… - Science, 2016 - science.org
Excimers are evanescent quasi-particles that typically form during collisional intermolecular
interactions and exist exclusively for their excited-state lifetime. We exploited the distinctive …

Ligand effect on the luminescence of gold nanodots and its application for detection of total mercury ions in biological samples

HY Chang, HT Chang, YL Hung, TM Hsiung, YW Lin… - Rsc Advances, 2013 - pubs.rsc.org
In this study, we found that the photoluminescence (PL) of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-
MUA)-protected gold nanodots (Au NDs; ca. 2.0 nm) was highly dependent on the capping …

Effect of Charge and Phosphine Ligands on the Electronic Structure of the Au8 Cluster

JC Burgos, SM Mejía, GF Metha - ACS omega, 2019 - ACS Publications
In this work, we use density functional theory calculations with a hybrid exchange–
correlation functional and effective core pseudopotentials to determine the geometry of bare …

Cationic gold clusters ligated with differently substituted phosphines: effect of substitution on ligand reactivity and binding

GE Johnson, A Olivares, D Hill, J Laskin - Physical Chemistry Chemical …, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
We present a systematic study of the effect of the number of methyl (Me) and cyclohexyl (Cy)
functional groups in monodentate phosphine ligands on the solution-phase synthesis of …

The nature of structure and bonding between transition metal and mixed Si‐Ge tetramers: A 20‐electron superatom system

X Li, Z Yan, S Li - Journal of Computational Chemistry, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
A novel superatom species with 20‐electron system, SixGeyM+ (x+ y= 4; M= Nb, Ta), was
properly proposed. The trigonal bipyramid structures for the studied systems were identified …
