Atomically Monodisperse Gold Nanoclusters Catalysts with Precise Core-Shell Structure
The emphasis of this review is atomically monodisperse Aun nanoclusters catalysts (n = number of metal atom in cluster) that are ideally composed of an exact number of metal atoms. Aun which range in size from a dozen to a few hundred atoms are particularly promising for nanocatalysis due to their unique core-shell structure and non-metallic electronic properties. Aun nanoclusters catalysts hav...
متن کاملLigand effects in catalysis by atomically precise gold nanoclusters
Atomically precise gold nanoclusters are ideal model catalysts with well-defined compositions and tunable structures. Determination of the ligand effect on catalysis requires the use of gold nanoclusters with protecting ligands as the only variable. Two isostructural Au38 nanoclusters, [Au38(L)20(Ph3P)4]2+ (L = alkynyl or thiolate), have been synthesized by a direct reduction method, and they h...
متن کاملFluorescence origin and spectral broadening mechanism in atomically precise Au8 nanoclusters.
Super-small Au8 nanoclusters have shown great potential to be used in bioimaging, biosensors and catalysis. Understanding the fluorescence origin and the spectral broadening mechanism is of critical importance for the applications. Here we investigate the fluorescence origin and the spectral broadening mechanism using steady state and ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy. For the first time we ...
متن کاملCharacterizing phosphoproteins and phosphoproteomes using mass spectrometry.
The reversible phosphorylation of proteins plays a major role in many vital cellular processes by modulating protein function and transmitting signals within cellular pathways and networks. Because phosphorylation is dynamic and the sites of modification cannot be predicted by an organism's genome, proteomic measurements are required to identify sites of and changes in the phosphorylation state...
متن کاملAn Inorganic Twist in Nanomaterials: Making an Atomically Precise Double Helix
Molecular helical structures are prevalent in biomolecules such as proteins and polynucleotides (e.g., DNA, RNA). This structural arrangement imparts additional stability to biomolecules necessary for many important biological functions including replication, signal transduction, and catalysis. Since the revolutionary discovery in 1953 that DNA structure exists as a double helix (Figure 1A), nu...
