Gas phase aggregates of protected clusters

چکیده
29 kDa gold cluster molecules with thiol protection were synthesized and size separated by chromatography. Their direct laser desorption leads to large scale clustering and the mass spectral features extend up to 500 kDa. Effect of alkanethiol chain length on clustering suggests that monolayer interaction is the key to this phenomenon. Role of different matrices on clustering in the matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) process has been investigated. 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملDetermination of Organic Sulfur Contaminants Using Hollow Fibre-protected Liquid-phase Micro-extraction Coupled with Gas Chromatography
A simple and solvent-minimized sample preparation technique based on hollow fibre-protected liquid-phase micro-extraction has been developed for extraction of fifteen organic sulphur compounds from aqueous samples. The analysis of the extracted them was performed by gas chromatography equipped with mass spectrometry and/or flame photometric detectors. 3.3 µL of organic solvent located in the lu...
متن کاملDetermination of Cluster Hydrodynamics in Bubbling Fluidized Beds by the EMMS Approach
The local solid flow structure of gas-solid bubbling fluidized bed was investigated to identify and characterize the particle clusters. Extensive mathematical calculations were carried out using the energy-minimization multi-scale (EMMS) approach for evaluating cluster properties including the velocity, the size and the void fraction of clusters in the dense phase of the bed. The results showed...
متن کاملSelf-propelled rods exhibit a phase-separated state characterized by the presence of active stresses and the ejection of polar clusters.
We study collections of self-propelled rods (SPR) moving in two dimensions for packing fractions less than or equal to 0.3. We find that in the thermodynamical limit the SPR undergo a phase transition between a disordered gas and a novel phase-separated system state. Interestingly, (global) orientational order patterns-contrary to what has been suggested-vanish in this limit. In the found novel...
متن کاملNoble metal alloy clusters in the gas phase derived from protein templates: unusual recognition of palladium by gold.
Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization of a mixture of gold and palladium adducts of the protein lysozyme (Lyz) produces naked alloy clusters of the type Au24Pd(+) in the gas phase. While a lysozyme-Au adduct forms Au18(+), Au25(+), Au38(+) and Au102(+) ions in the gas phase, lysozyme-Pd alone does not form any analogous cluster. Addition of various transition metal ions (Ag(+), Pt(2+), Pd...
