Covalently Binding Atomically Designed Au9 Clusters to Chemically Modified Graphene**
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy was used to identify individual Au9 clusters on a sulfur-functionalized graphene surface. The clusters were preformed in solution and covalently attached to the surface without any dispersion or aggregation. Comparison of the experimental images with simulations allowed the rotational motion, without lateral displacement, of individual clusters to be discerned, thereby demonstrating a robust covalent attachment of intact clusters to the graphene surface.

متن کاملLuminescent Silver Clusters with Covalent Functionalization of Graphene
Brightly luminescent, atomically precise subnanometer clusters of silver protected by glutathione were covalently functionalized by solution phase thiolated graphene using ligand exchange. A hybrid molecule was formed, which was obtained in a nearly pure form by phase transfer from the aqueous to the organic phase. The resulting hybrid exhibited properties of both of these nanoscale materials. ...
متن کاملGraphene oxide as a chemically tunable platform for optical applications.
Chemically derived graphene oxide (GO) is an atomically thin sheet of graphite that has traditionally served as a precursor for graphene, but is increasingly attracting chemists for its own characteristics. It is covalently decorated with oxygen-containing functional groups - either on the basal plane or at the edges - so that it contains a mixture of sp(2)- and sp(3)-hybridized carbon atoms. I...
متن کاملDensity functional theory investigation of gold cluster geometry and gas-phase reactivity with O2
We have conducted a density functional theory investigation into the gas-phase reactivity of small gold cluster ions in the interest of understanding gold cluster reactivity in several catalytic systems. Previously unreported geometries for Au9 2 and Au10 2 anions are obtained and reported from geometry optimizations. Predicted values of the vertical detachment energy match well with experiment...
