Synthesis, structure, and luminescence of di- and trinuclear palladium/gold and platinum/gold complexes with (2,7-di-tert-butylfluoren-9-ylidene)methanedithiolate

Acetone solutions of [Au(OClO3)(PCy3)] react with complexes [M{S2C=(t-Bu-fy)}2]2- [t-Bu-fy=2,7-di-tert-butylfluoren-9-ylidene; M=Pd (2a), Pt (2b)] or [M{S2C=(t-Bu-fy)}(dbbpy)] [dbbpy=4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridyl; M=Pd (3a), Pt (3b)] to give the heteronuclear complexes [M{S2C=(t-Bu-fy)}2{Au(PCy3)}2] [2:1 molar ratio; M=Pd (4a), Pt (4b)], [M{S2C=(t-Bu-fy)}(dbbpy){Au(PCy3)}]ClO4 [1:1 molar ratio; M=Pd (5a), Pt (5b)], or [M{S2C=(t-Bu-fy)}(dbbpy){Au(PCy3)}2](ClO4)2 [2:1 molar ratio; M=Pd (6a), Pt (6b)]. The crystal structures of 3a, 4a, 4b, 5b, and 6a have been solved by single-crystal X-ray studies and, in the cases of the heteronuclear derivatives, reveal the formation of short Pd...Au or Pt...Au metallophilic contacts in the range of 3.048-3.311 A. Compounds 4a and b and 5a and b undergo a dynamic process in solution that involves the migration of the [Au(PCy3)]+ units between the sulfur atoms of the dithiolato ligands. The coordination of 2a and b and 3a and b to [Au(PCy3)]+ units results in important modifications of their photophysical properties. The dominant effect in the absorption spectra is an increase in the energy of the MLCT (4a and b) or charge transfer to diimine (5a, b, 6a, b) transitions because of a decrease in the energies of the mixed metal/dithiolate HOMOs. The Pd complexes 2a and 4a are luminescent at 77 K, and the features of their emissions are consistent with an essentially metal-centered 3d-d state. The Pt/Au complexes are also luminescent at 77 K, and their emissions can be assigned as originating from a MLCT triplet state (4b) or a mixture of charge transfer to diimine and diimine intraligand pi-pi* triplet states (5b and 6b).     

Metal-metal interactions in platinum(II)/gold(I) or platinum(II)/silver(I) salts containing planar cations and linear anions

The salts [Pt{C(NHMe)(2)}(4)][Au(CN)(2)](2), [Pt{C(NHMe)(2)}(4)][Ag(2)(CN)(3)][Ag(CN)(2)], [Pt(en)(2)][Au(CN)(2)](2), [Pt(en)(2)][Ag(CN)(2)](2), and [Pt(bipy)(2)][Au(CN)(2)](2) have been prepared by mixing solutions of salts containing the appropriate cation with solutions of K[Au(CN)(2)] or K[Ag(CN)(2)]. Because the platinum atom in the cation is sterically protected, the structures of [Pt{C(NHMe)(2)}(4)][Au(CN)(2)](2) and [Pt{C(NHMe)(2)}(4)][Ag(2)(CN)(3)][Ag(CN)(2)] reveal no close metal-metal interactions. Colorless crystals of [Pt(en)(2)][Au(CN)(2)](2) and [Pt(en)(2)][Ag(CN)(2)](2) are isostructural and involve extended chains of alternating cations and anions that run parallel to the crystallographic a axis, along with isolated anions. In the chains, the metal-metal separations are relatively short: Pt...Au, 3.1799(3) Angstroms; Pt...Ag, 3.1949(2) Angstroms. In [Pt(bipy)(2)][Au(CN)(2)](2), each cation has axial interactions with the anions through close Pt...Au contacts [3.1735(6) Angstroms]. In addition, the anions are weakly linked through Au...Au contacts of 3.5978(9) Angstroms. Unlike the previously reported Pt/Au complex [Pt(NH(3))(4)][Au(CN)(2)](2).1.5H(2)O, which is luminescent, none of the salts reported here luminesce.     

Homo- and heteropolynuclear platinum complexes stabilized by dimethylpyrazolato and alkynyl bridging ligands: synthesis, structures, and luminescence

This work describes the synthesis of cis-[Pt(C[triple bond]CPh)2(Hdmpz)2] (1) and its use as a precursor for the preparation of homo- and heteropolynuclear complexes. Double deprotonation of compound 1 with readily available M(I) (M = Cu, Ag, Au) or M(II) (M = Pd, Pt) species affords the discrete hexanuclear clusters [{PtM2(mu-C[triple bond]CPh)2(mu-dmpz)(2)}(2)] [M = Cu (2), Ag (3), Au (4)], in which both "Pt(C[triple bond]CPh)2(dmpz)(2)" fragments are connected by four d(10) metal centers, and are stabilized by alkynyl and dimethylpyrazolate bridging ligands, or the trinuclear complexes [Pt(mu-C[triple bond]CPh)2(mu-dmpz)(2){M(C/\P)}2] (M = Pd (5), Pt (6); C/\P = CH(2)-C(6)H(4)-P(o-tolyl)2-kappaC,P), respectively. The X-ray structures of complexes 1-4 and 6 are reported. The X-ray structure of the platinum-copper derivative 2 shows that all copper centers exhibit similar local geometry being linearly coordinated to a nitrogen atom and eta(2) to one alkynyl fragment. However in the related platinum-silver (3) and platinum-gold (4) derivatives the silver and gold atoms present three different coordination environments. The complexes have been studied by absorption and emission spectroscopy. The hexanuclear complexes exhibit bright luminescence in the solid state and in fluid solution (except 4 in the solid state at 298 K). Dual long-lived emission is observed, being clearly resolved in low-temperature rigid media. The low-energy emission is ascribed to MLM'CT Pt(d)/pi(C[triple bond]CPh)-->Pt(p(z))/M'(sp)/pi*(C[triple bond]CPh) modified by metal-metal interactions whereas the high-energy emission is tentatively attributed to an emissive state derived from dimethylpyrazolate-to-metal (d(10)) LM'CT transitions pi(dmpz)-->M'(d(10)).     

Mononuclear (Pd, Pt), heterodinuclear (PdAg, PtAg), and tetranuclear (Pd2Ag2, Pt2Ag2) 1,1-ethylenedithiolato complexes

lp;&-5q;1 The reactions of [Tl2[S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]]n with [MCl2L2] (1:1) or with [MCl2(NCPh)2] and PPh3 (1:1:2) give complexes [M[eta2-S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]L2] [M = Pt, L2 = 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod) (1); L2 = bpy, M = Pd (2a), Pt (2b), L = PPh3, M = Pd (3a), Pt (3b)] whereas with MCl2 and QCl (2:1:2) anionic derivatives Q2[M[eta2-S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]2] [M = Pd, Q = NMe4 (4a), Ph3P=N=PPh3 (PPN) (4a'), M = Pt, Q = NMe4 (4b)] are produced. Complexes 1 and 3 react with AgClO4 (1:1) to give tetranuclear complexes [[ML2]2Ag2[mu2,eta2-(S,S')-[S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]2]](ClO4)2 [L = PPh3, M = Pd (5a), Pt (5b), L2 = cod, M = Pt (5b')], while the reactions of 3 with AgClO4 and PPh3 (1:1:2) give dinuclear [[M(PPh3)2][Ag(PPh3)2][mu2,eta2-(S,S')-S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]]]ClO4 [M = Pd (6a), Pt (6b)]. The crystal structures of 3a, 3b, 4a, and two crystal forms of 5b have been determined. The two crystal forms of 5b display two [Pt(PPh3)2][mu2,eta2-(S,S')-[S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]2] moieties bridging two Ag(I) centers.

The effect of alloying on the H-atom adsorption on the (100) surfaces of Pd-Ag,Pd-Pt,Pd-Au,Pt-Ag,and Pt-Au. A theoretical study

The effect of alloying on the adsorption of atomic hydrogen was studied using density functional theory (DFT). In the study the (100) surfaces of Pd-Ag, Pd-Pt, Pd-Au, Pt-Ag, and Pt-Au alloys were considered by means of a cluster model. The structural and energetic properties of the H atom adsorbed on the Pd₄Me (Me = Ag, Pt, Au) and Pt₄Me (Me = Pd, Ag, Au) clusters were calculated and compared with the H-atom adsorption on monometallic clusters. The effect of alloying on the H-atom adsorption is evident for all the investigated bimetallic systems. However, it strongly depends on the second metal atom, Me, is placed in the surface layer or in the subsurface one. In general, the H atom adsorbed in a site containing the second metal exhibits different properties from those characteristic of its adsorption on Pd(100) and Pt(100). Hence, the modified interaction between atomic hydrogen and the alloyed surfaces may increase the selectivity of the catalytic hydrogenation reactions on such surfaces.     

Palladium(II) and platinum(II) organometallic complexes with 4,7-dihydro-5-methyl-7-oxo[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine. Antitumor activity of the platinum compounds

Palladium and platinum complexes with HmtpO (where HmtpO=4,7-dihydro-5-methyl-7-oxo[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, an analogue of the natural occurring nucleobase hypoxanthine) of the types [M(dmba)(PPh3)(HmtpO)]ClO4[dmba=N,C-chelating 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl; M=Pd or Pt], [Pd(N-N)(C6F5)(HmtpO)]ClO4[N-N=2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (Me2bpy), or N, N, N', N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmeda)] and cis-[M(C6F5)2(HmtpO)2] (M=Pd or Pt) (head-to-head atropisomer in the solid state) have been obtained. Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes with the anion of HmtpO of the types [Pd(tmeda)(C6F5)(mtpO)], [Pd(dmba)(micro-mtpO)] 2, and [NBu4]2[M(C6F5)2(micro-mtpO)]2(M=Pd or Pt) have been prepared starting from the corresponding hydroxometal complexes. Complexes containing simultaneously both the neutral HmtpO ligand and the anionic mtpO of the type [NBu4][M(C6F5)2(HmtpO)(mtpO)] (M=Pd or Pt) have been also obtained. In these mtpO-HmtpO metal complexes, for the first time, prototropic exchange is observed between the two heterocyclic ligands. The crystal structures of [Pd(dmba)(PPh 3)(HmtpO)]+, cis-[Pt(C6F5)2(HmtpO)2].acetone, [Pd(C6F5)(tmeda)(mtpO)].2H2O, [Pd(dmba)(micro-mtpO)]2, [NBu4]2[Pd(C6F5)2(micro-mtpO)]2.CH2Cl2.toluene, [NBu4]2[Pt(C6F5)2(micro-mtpO)](2).0.5(toluene), and [NBu4][Pt(C6F5)2(mtpO)(HmtpO)] have been established by X-ray diffraction. Values of IC50 were calculated for the new platinum complexes cis-[Pt(C6F5)2(HmtpO)2] and [Pt(dmba)(PPh3)(HmtpO)]ClO4 against a panel of human tumor cell lines representative of ovarian (A2780 and A2780 cisR), lung (NCI-H460), and breast cancers (T47D). At 48 h incubation time, both complexes were about 8-fold more active than cisplatin in T47D and show very low resistance factors against an A2780 cell line, which has acquired resistance to cisplatin. The DNA adduct formation of cis-[Pt(C6F5)2(HmtpO)2] and [Pt(dmba)(PPh3)(HmtpO)]ClO4 was followed by circular dichroism and electrophoretic mobility. Atomic force microscopy images of the modifications caused by these platinum complexes on plasmid DNA pB R322 were also obtained.     

Heteropolynuclear phosphide complexes: phosphorus as unique atom bridging coinage metal centres

In this paper we describe the synthesis and reactivity of the diphenylphosphine derivatives [Au(C6F5)(PPh2H)] and trans-[Au(C6F5)2(PPh2H)2]ClO4. Reactions of the latter or the neutral [Au(C6F5)3(PPh2H)] with the appropriate Group 11 metal reagents (M = Au, Ag, Cu) in the presence of acetylacetonate afford a series of novel Au(III)-M phosphido-bridged complexes, which have been scarcely represented to date. The crystal structure of the tetranuclear [(Au(C6F5)2(mu-PPh2)2Ag)2] and the dinuclear [Au(C6F5)3(mu-PPh2)M(PPh3)] (M = Au,Ag) complexes were established by X-ray diffraction methods. The synthesis and deprotonating activity of the anionic gold(III) complex PPN[Au(C6F5)3(acac)] (PNN = [N(PPh3)2]+) was studied.     

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of an alkyne functionalised bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligand

The alkyne functionalised bidentate N-donor ligand (2-propargyloxyphenyl)bis(pyrazolyl)methane was prepared in high yield from the reaction of (2-hydroxyphenyl)bis(pyrazolyl)methane with propargyl bromide in the presence of base. A series of transition-metal complexes including [MCl2] (M=Cu, Co, Ni, Zn, Pt), [M2](NO3)2 (M=Cu, Co, Ni, Zn), [Ag]NO3 and [Pd(dppe)](OTf)2 were prepared and characterised by spectroscopic techniques. In addition, ligand as well as the Co(II) and Zn(II) complexes [CoCl2]2, [ZnCl2] were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The organometallic gold(I) and platinum(II) acetylide complexes [Pz2CH(C6H(4)-2-OCH2C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CAuPPh3)] and trans-[{Pz2CHC6H(4)-2-OCH2C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C}2Pt(PPh3)2] were prepared from and [AuCl(PPh3)] and trans-[PtCl2(PPh3)2], respectively. Treatment of these complexes with [Pd(OTf)2(dppe)] or [Cu(MeCN)4]PF6 results in formation of the cationic, mixed-metal complexes, which were isolated (Pt/Pd, Au/Pt) or detected by electrospray mass spectrometry (Au/Cu, Pt/Cu).     

Group 11 complexes with unsymmetrical P,S and P,Se disubstituted ferrocene ligands

The reaction of the unsymmetrical ligands 1-diphenylphosphino-1'-(phenylsulfanyl)ferrocene and 1-diphenylphosphino-1'-(phenylselenyl)ferrocene, Fc(EPh)PPh2(E = S, Se), with several group 11 metal derivatives leads to the synthesis of complexes of the type [MX{Fc(EPh)PPh2}](M = Au, X = Cl, C6F5; M = Ag, X = OTf), (OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate), [M{Fc(EPh)PPh2}2]X (M = Au, X = ClO4; M = Ag, X = OTf), [M(PPh3){Fc(EPh)PPh2}]OTf (M = Au, Ag), [Au2{Fc(SPh)PPh2}2](ClO4)2, [Au(C6F5)2{Fc(SePh)PPh2}]ClO4, [Au(C6F5)3{Fc(EPh)PPh2}], [Au2(C6F5)6{Fc(SePh)PPh2}] or [Cu{Fc(EPh)PPh2}2]PF6(E = S, Se). In these complexes coordination depends upon the metal centre; with gold it takes place predominantly to the phosphorus atom and with silver and copper to both phosphorus and chalcogen atoms. The treatment of some of the gold complexes with other metal centres affords heterometallic derivatives that in some cases are in equilibrium with the homometallic derivatives. Several compounds have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, four pairs of homologous compounds, yet not a single pair is isotypic. In many of them a three dimensional network is formed through secondary bonds such as hydrogen bonds, Au...Cl or Au...Se interactions. The complex [Ag(OTf){Fc(SePh)PPh2}] forms one-dimensional chains through trifluoromethanesulfonate bridging ligands.     

Formation,growth mechanism and packing sequences of binary alloy cluster anions from laser ablation of mixtures of lead and transition metals

By using laser ablation of the mixtures of a transition metal (M: Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd, Ag) plus lead, M/Pb binary cluster anions were observed except for Zn, and the number of transition metal atoms contained in the binary clusters is at most 4. This behavior is different from that reported previously for M/Ge binary clusters. The experiments indicate that it is also very difficult to form Al/Pb clusters. The distribution patterns of M/Pb binary alloy cluster anions are remarkably similar to those of pure Pb clusters, consistent with a formation mechanism in which transition metal atoms are sequentially attached to [M(x-1)Pb(y)](-) clusters and thus form [M(x)Pb(y)](-) clusters by a simple condensation process. As the number of transition metal atoms increases, the intensities of binary clusters gradually decrease. It is proposed that [MPb(4)](-) and [MPb(5)](-) cluster anions might be the unit building blocks of M/Pb binary cluster anions, and the layer packing sequences for magic clusters are predicted on this basis. The [M(x)Pb(y)](-) binary clusters containing 13 atoms (x + y = 13; x not equal 0) are proposed to have an icosahedral structure.     

Synthesis and reactivity of bridging and terminal hydrosulfido palladium and platinum complexes. Crystal structures of [NBu4]2[(Pt(c6F5)2(mu-SH)]2], [Pt(C6F5)2(PPh3)[S(H)AgPPh3]], and [Pt(C6F5)2(PPh3)[S(AuPPh3)2]

The reactions of the hydroxo complexes [M(2)R(4)(mu-OH)(2)](2)(-) (M = Pd, R = C(6)F(5), C(6)Cl(5); M = Pt, R = C(6)F(5)), [[PdR(PPh(3))(mu-OH)](2)] (R = C(6)F(5), C(6)Cl(5)), and [[Pt(C(6)F(5))(2)](2)(mu-OH)(mu-pz)](2-) (pz = pyrazolate) with H(2)S yield the corresponding hydrosulfido complexes [M(2)(C(6)F(5))(4)(mu-SH)(2)](2-), [[PdR(PPh(3))(mu-SH)](2)], and [[Pt(C(6)F(5))(2)](2)(mu-SH)(mu-pz)](2-), respectively. The monomeric hydrosulfido complexes [M(C(6)F(5))(2)(SH)(PPh(3))](-) (M = Pd, Pt) have been prepared by reactions of the corresponding binuclear hydrosulfido complexes [M(2)(C(6)F(5))(4)(mu-SH)(2)](2-) with PPh(3) in the molar ratio 1:2, and they can be used as metalloligands toward Ag(PPh(3))(+) to form the heterodinuclear complex [(C(6)F(5))(2)(PPh(3))[S(H)AgPPh(3)]], and toward Au(PPh(3))(+) yielding the heterotrinuclear complexes [M(C(6)F(5))(2)(PPh(3))[S(AuPPh(3))(2)]]. The crystal structures of [NBu(4)](2)[[Pt(C(6)F(5))(2)(mu-SH)](2)], [Pt(C(6)F(5))(2)(PPh(3))[S(H)AgPPh(3)]], and [Pt(C(6)F(5))(2)(PPh(3))[S(AuPPh(3))(2)]] have been established by X-ray diffraction and show no short metal-metal interactions between the metallic centers.     

Adsorption von Spuren von Insecticiden aus Wasser an Polyäthylen

Trace elements such as Bi, Cu, Ni, Pb, Ag, Au, and Pd that are present in high-purity cadmium can be enriched, if the cadmium is coated with a thin layer of mercury before dissolution in dilute nitric acid up to a small residue. For determination of the trace elements, the residue is completely dissolved in nitric acid. Bi, Cu, Ni, and Pb are determined after separation of the mercury; Ag, Au, and Pd are determined in the solution containing the mercury. The determination is made by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The following amounts can be determined (in ppm): Cu 0.02; Ag 0.05; Au 0.1; Bi, Ni, Pb, Pd 0.2.     

Polynuclear palladium complexes with 3,5-dimethylpyrazolate exhibiting three different coordination modes

The characterisation of dinuclear pyrazolato-bridged Pd(II) complexes, [(Pd(mu-dmpz)Cl(Hdmpz))2] (1) and [(Pd(mu-dmpz)(dmpz)(Hdmpz))2] (2) (Hdmpz=dimethylpyrazole), has been carried out. An X-ray study of compound 2 reveals the existence of intramolecular N-H...N hydrogen bonds between neighbouring dmpz groups. Compound 2 has been deprotonated and both acidic hydrogen atoms substituted by two metal atoms of Cu(I), Ag(I) or Au(I) to give the tetranuclear compounds [Pd2M2(mu(2)-dmpz-kappaN,N')6] (M=Cu, Ag, Au). The structure of these compounds resembles a box with a small cavity inside. There are also three pi-electron-rich clefts between each of the three pairs of azolato rings, capable of further complexation. The reactions of [Pd2M2(mu(2)-dmpz-kappaN,N')6] (M=Cu, Ag, Au) with AgClO4 render compounds of the type [(Pd2M2(mu(2)-dmpz-kappaN,N')2(-)(mu(3)-dmpz-kappaN,N',C4)4Ag2(mu(2)-O2ClO2))2] (M=Cu, Ag, Au). The X-ray structures of crystals obtained from a solution of compounds [(Pd2M2(mu(2)-dmpz-kappaN,N')2(mu(3)-dmpz-kappaN,N',C4)4Ag2(mu(2)-O(2)ClO2))2] (M=Ag, Au) in acetone reveals a [(Pd2M2(mu(2)-dmpz-kappaN,N')2(mu(3)-dmpz-kappaN,N',C4)4Ag(OCMe2)(OClO3)Ag(mu(2)-O2ClO2))2] stoichiometry, indicating that only two of the three pi-electron-rich clefts have been used to accommodate Ag+ ions. Each of the silver atoms are located in between two 3,5-dmpz rings and are eta(1)-bonded to the C4 atom of each group.     

Palladium(II) and platinum(II) organometallic complexes with the model nucleobase anions of thymine, uracil, and cytosine: antitumor activity and interactions with DNA of the platinum compounds

Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes with the anions of the model nucleobases 1-methylthymine (1-MethyH), 1-methyluracil (1-MeuraH), and 1-methylcytosine (1-MecytH) of the types [Pd(dmba)(mu-L)]2 [dmba = N,C-chelating 2-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenyl; L = 1-Methy, 1-Meura or 1-Mecyt] and [M(dmba)(L)(L')] [L = 1-Methy or 1-Meura; L' = PPh(3) (M = Pd or Pt), DMSO (M = Pt)] have been obtained. Palladium complexes of the types [Pd(C6F5)(N-N)(L)] [L = 1-Methy or 1-Meura; N-N = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmeda), 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), or 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (Me2bpy)] and [NBu4][Pd(C6F5)(1-Methy)2(H2O)] have also been prepared. The crystal structures of [Pd(dmba)(mu-1-Methy)]2, [Pd(dmba)(mu-1-Mecyt)]2.2CHCl3, [Pd(dmba)(1-Methy)(PPh3)].3CHCl3, [Pt(dmba)(1-Methy)(PPh3)], [Pd(tmeda)(C6F5)(1-Methy)], and [NBu4][Pd(C6F5)(1-Methy)2(H2O)].H2O have been established by X-ray diffraction. The DNA adduct formation of the new platinum complexes synthesized was followed by circular dichroism and electrophoretic mobility. Atomic force microscopy images of the modifications caused by the platinum complexes on plasmid DNA pBR322 were also obtained. Values of IC50 were also calculated for the new platinum complexes against the tumor cell line HL-60. All the new platinum complexes were more active than cisplatin (up to 20-fold in some cases).     

单晶硅表面贵金属晶粒层的制备

将预处理过的单晶硅p-Si(100)浸入含贵金属盐的HF溶液, 制备了Ag, Au, Pd和Pt的晶粒层. 用原子力显微镜(AFM)、开路电位(OCP)、循环伏安(CV)和交流阻抗(A. C. Impedance)方法对晶粒层性能进行了考察. 形貌显示, 在浸镀20 s后, Ag和Pd晶粒层基本上覆盖了硅基底, Ag颗粒致密, Pd颗粒之间仍有空隙且晶粒较Ag大. Au晶粒层部分覆盖了基底, 而Pt只有极少数的晶粒. 60 s后, Ag, Pd和Au晶粒层都完全覆盖了基底, 而Pt晶粒仍然较少, 但晶粒有所长大. 循环伏安显示, Pd的溶出峰电流比Ag, Au, Pt高1个数量级. 交流阻抗测量表明, Pd晶粒层阻抗最小. 结果表明, Ag, Pd和Au都能用浸入沉积的方法在单晶硅上短时间内制备出晶粒层, 而Pt不能, 选用哪种晶粒层, 需要根据后续工序和实际需要而定.     

Synthesis of Au, Au/Ag, Au/Pt and Au/Pd nanoparticles using the microwave-polyol method

Gold, Au/Ag, Au/Pt and Au/Pd bimetallic nanoparticles with varying mol fractions were synthesized in ethylene glycol and glycerol, using the microwave technique in the presence of a stabilizer poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). It was found that bimetallic colloids of Au/Ag, Au/Pd and Au/Pt form an alloy either on co-reduction of respective metal ions or on mixing individual sols.     

Metal-metal interactions in heterobimetallic d8-d10 complexes. Structures and spectroscopic investigation of [M'M' '(mu-dcpm)2(CN)2]+ (M' = Pt,Pd; M' ' = Cu,Ag, Au) and related complexes by UV-vis absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopy and ab initio calculations

X-ray structural and spectroscopic properties of a series of heterodinuclear d(8)-d(10) metal complexes [M'M' '(mu-dcpm)(2)(CN)(2)](+) containing d(8) Pt(II), Pd(II), or Ni(II) and d(10) Au(I), Ag(I), or Cu(I) ions with a dcpm bridging ligand have been studied (dcpm = bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane; M' = Pt, M' ' = Au 4, Ag 5, Cu, 6; M' ' = Au, M' = Pd 7, Ni 8). X-ray crystal analyses showed that the metal...metal distances in these heteronuclear metal complexes are shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii of the M' and M' ' atoms. The UV-vis absorption spectra of 4-6 display red-shifted intense absorption bands from the absorption spectra of the mononuclear trans-[Pt(phosphine)(2)(CN)(2)] and [M' '(phosphine)(2)](+) counterparts, attributable to metal-metal interactions. The resonance Raman spectra confirmed assignments of (1)[nd(sigma)-->(n + 1)p(sigma)] electronic transitions to the absorption bands at 317 and 331 nm in 4 and 6, respectively. The results of theoretical calculations at the MP2 level reveal an attractive interaction energy curve for the skewed [trans-Pt(PH(3))(2)(CN)(2)-Au(PH(3))(2)(+)] dimer. The interaction energy of Pt(II)-Au(I) was calculated to be ca. 0.45 ev.     

Elimination of interferences from Cu, Pb, Ag, Au, Pt, Pd and Se in the determination of mercury by CVAAS using sodium tetrahydroborate(III) reduction in copper concentrates

The determination of mercury in the presence of Cu, Pb, Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, Se and As by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry was studied. Sodium tetrahydroborate(III) was used as a reducing agent. All the elements examined except arsenic exhibited strong interferences. A solution of 1,10-phenanthroline and thiosemicarbazide in 1.5% HCl solution was used as a masking agent. A highly effective reduction of interference by Cu, Ag, Au, Pt, Pd and Se was achieved. The results obtained were applied to the determination of mercury in a copper concentrate.     

Reactions of platinum cluster ions with benzene

In this work, the cation and anion products of the reactions between platinum clusters produced by laser ablation and the benzene molecules seeded in argon have been studied using a high-resolution reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer (RTOFMS). The dominant cation products are [C(6n)H(6n - k)](+) and [Pt(m)(C(6)H(6))(n)](+) complexes, while the dominant anion products are dehydrogenated species, [C(6)H(5)PtH](-), [PtC(12)H(k)](-) and [Pt(m)C(6)H(4) . . . (C(6)H(6))(n)](-), etc. Some important intermediate structures ([PtC(6)H(6)](+), [Pt(C(6)H(6))(2)](+), [Pt(2)(C(6)H(6))(3)](+), [C(6)H(5)PtH](-), [Pt(2)C(6)H(4)](-), [Pt(3)C(6)H(4)](-) and [Pt(4)C(6)H(4)](-)) have been analyzed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Different reaction mechanisms are proposed for platinum cluster cations and anions with benzene, respectively.
