Synthesis of selenolate-protected Au18(SeC6H5)14 nanoclustersQian Xu
Department of Chemistry, Anhui University, Hefei, Anhui 230039, PR China
Nanoscale 5:1176-82. 2013..Future theoretical and X-ray crystallographic work will reveal the geometric structure and the nature of selenolate-gold bonding in the nanocluster...
Controlled reduction for size selective synthesis of thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters Aun(n = 20, 24, 39, 40)Xiangming Meng
Department of Chemistry, Anhui University, Hefei, Anhui, 230026, People s Republic of China
Nanoscale Res Lett 7:277. 2012..Overall, our results demonstrate the feasibility of attaining new sizes of gold nanoclusters via a controlled reduction route...
Ligand-exchange synthesis of selenophenolate-capped Au(25) nanoclustersXiangming Meng
Department of Chemistry, Anhui University, Hefei, Anhui 230026, P R China
Nanoscale 4:4161-5. 2012..The two types of Au(25)L(18) (L = thiolate or selenolate) nanoclusters also show some differences in stability and optical properties...
Unexpected reactivity of Au25(SCH2CH2Ph)18 nanoclusters with saltsManzhou Zhu
Department of Chemistry, Anhui University, Hefei, Anhui 230026, PR China
Nanoscale 3:1703-7. 2011..In contrast, with NaX salts the Na(+) ions do not provide any steric stabilization of the [Au(25)(SCH(2)CH(2)Ph)(18)](-) clusters, hence, degradation occurs when being further attacked by halide ions, especially Br(-) and I(-)...
Chiral Au₂₅ nanospheres and nanorods: synthesis and insight into the origin of chiralityManzhou Zhu
Department of Chemistry, Anhui University, Hefei, Anhui 230039, People s Republic of China
Nano Lett 11:3963-9. 2011..Similar effects are also observed in chiral Au(25) rods. The mixing of electronic states of ligands with those of surface gold atoms constitutes the fundamental origin of chirality in such nanoparticles...
A novel quinoline-based two-photon fluorescent probe for detecting Cd2+ in vitro and in vivoYiming Li
Department of Chemistry, Anhui University, Hefei 230039, P R China
Dalton Trans 41:6189-94. 2012..Two-photon microscopy imaging studies reveal that the new probe is non-toxic and cell-permeable and can be used to detect intracellular Cd(2+) under two-photon excitation...
6-Substituted quinoline-based ratiometric two-photon fluorescent probes for biological Zn2+ detectionXiangming Meng
Department of Chemistry, Anhui University, Hefei 230039, P R China
Chem Commun (Camb) 48:4196-8. 2012..They also exhibit high ion selectivities and large two-photon absorption cross sections at nearly 720 nm. Because the new probes are cell-permeable, they can be used to detect intracellular zinc flux under two-photon excitation...
Thiolate-Protected Au(20) Clusters with a Large Energy Gap of 2.1 eVManzhou Zhu
Departments of Chemistry, Carnegie Mellon University, 4400 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213, and University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui 230026, P R China
J Am Chem Soc 131:7220-1. 2009..This stability difference might indicate some structural differences between Au(20)(SCH(2)CH(2)Ph)(16) and Au(n)(SG)(m) (n < 25). The crystal structure of the Au(20)(SCH(2)CH(2)Ph)(16) cluster remains to be unraveled in future work...
