Self-assembled organic monolayers on gold nanoparticles: A study by sum-frequency generation combined with UV–vis spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use sum-frequency generation spectroscopy (SFG) in the infrared 2800–3000 cm−1 spectral range and UV–vis spectroscopy (transmission) in the 450–650 nm spectral range in order to characterize vibrational and electronic properties of various interfaces composed of organic monolayers adsorbed on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with 19 nm average diameter. SFG signal is observed for AuNPs films deposited o d s s c T i m ©

Tetraferrocenylporphyrins as active components of self-assembled monolayers on gold surface.
Novel tetraferrocenylporphyrins-containing self-assembled monolayers were prepared employing two different approaches. Self-assembled monolayers were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry (CV) whereas their photoelectrochemical properties were investigated by photocurrent generation (PG) experiments.

The active substrates in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy were prepared through self-assembly of nanoparticles on functionalized glasses. Colloidal silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were prepared chemically in two different sizes by reduction of AgNO3 using trisodium citrate and sodium borohydride. Gold–silver core–shell nanoparticles were also prepared to compare between the o...
متن کاملEngineering Nano-aggregates: β-Cyclodextrin Facilitates the Thiol-Gold Nanoparticle Self-Assembly
The structure and morphology of nonmaterial formed by colloidal synthesis represent a subject of interest as it is a factor deciding the physicochemical properties and biological applications of nanostructures. Among various nanoparticles, gold can develop fractal assembled patterns. Herein, we report a nano-aggregate of a thiol-on-gold self-assembled structure and the influence of β-cyclodextr...
متن کاملUsing spectroscopic ellipsometry for quick prediction of number density of nanoparticles bound to non-transparent solid surfaces
We report on the use of spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) in predicting number density of nanoparticles bound to the surfaces decorated with either organic monolayers or surface-grafted polymers. Two systems are considered that comprise citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles adsorbed on: (1) 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) self-assembled monolayer (SAM), and (2) surface-tethered polyacrylamid...
متن کاملElectroactive gold nanoparticles protected by 4-ferrocene thiophenol monolayer.
Numerous reports have focused on ferrocene-terminated electroactive self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on a flat Au surface but only a few on ferrocene SAMs on Au colloid. In this paper, we employ 4-ferrocene thiophenol as a novel capping agent to produce electroactive gold nanoparticles in consideration of the peculiar pi-conjugated structure. Transmission electron microscopy shows the narrow-di...
