Metal‐Xenon Complexes

Long after the first isolation of a xenon compound in 1962 the first compounds with metal‐xenon bonds are prepared. The metal atoms are so far Au and Hg. The most stable metal xenon compounds decompose under loss of xenon slightly above room temperature. They can only exist if solvents and counter ions are weaker bases than atomic xenon. Solvents and counter ions used so far are HF, (SbF₆)^—, and (Sb₂F₁₁)^—.     

Rapid Synthesis of Lead Oxide Nanorods by One-step Solid-state Chemical Reaction at Room Temperature

A simple and facile method was reported to synthesize lead oxide nanorods. Nanorods of lead oxide were obtained directly from grinding solid metal salt and sodium hydroxide in agate mortar with the assistance of a suitable nonionic surfactant in only one step, which is different from the result of hydroxide in solution. The product has been characterized by XRD, TEM and SEM. The formation mechanism of rod-like morphology is discussed and the surfactant plays an important soft-template role in modifying the interface of solid-state reaction and according process of rod-formation.     

Progress on phthalocyanine-conjugated Ag and Au nanoparticles: Synthesis,characterization, and photo-physicochemical properties

Phthalocyanine (Pc) complexes are an important class of dyes with numerous (e.g., biological, photophysical, and analytical) applications. Among the methods used to improve the properties of these complexes, one should mention the introduction of different substituents, variation of the central metal ion, ligand exchange, and conjugation to nanomaterials (e.g., carbon-based nanomaterials and metal nanoparticles (NPs)). This work briefly reviews Pc complex conjugation to Ag and Au NPs, highlights the different NP shapes, and discusses the diversity of conjugation approaches. Moreover, the use of UV–Vis spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to characterize Pc-NP hybrids is summarized. The effect of conjugation on Pc photo-physicochemical properties (fluorescence, singlet oxygen generation, triplet state formation, and optical limiting behavior) is discussed, and future perspectives for the synthesis and applications of new hybrids are provided.     

Determination of gold in natural waters by neutron activation and γ-spectrometry after preconcentration with tributyl phosphate as solid extractant

A method for the preconcentration of gold in natural waters at the sampling site using tributyl phosphate as a solid extractant [Se(TBP)] was developed as a preliminary step prior to the determination of gold by neutron activation and γ-spectrometry. The SE(TBP) was saturated with gaseous chlorine for extracting all gold species. In batch experiments gold was quantitatively retained on the SE(TBP) in 10 min. After extraction and washing, the SE(TBP) was ashed or back-extracted. Gold was quantitatively eluted with hot, neutral 0.025 M thiourea. The gold content of residues of ashing or eluents after evaporation was determined by neutron activation and γ-spectrometry. The detection limit for the overall procedure was 0.2 ng 1^?1. The efficiency was tested on ‘equilibrated’ solutions prepared from river water and tracer solutions of gold. For comparison, the gold content of natural water samples was determined using preconcentration on activated charcoal.     

How bridging ligands and neighbouring groups tune the gold-gold bond strength

Gold-gold interactions in small polynuclear complexes are analysed using extended Hückel calculations. They are influenced by the nature of the ligand donor atoms, by the bridging ligands, but most by the formal oxidation state of the metal. Au---Au bonds are much stronger in complexes of Au(II) and Au(III), but a weak interaction between two d¹⁰ centres exists for Au(I) complexes, owing to mixing of the s and p orbitals with the d orbitals. Phosphines induce stronger metal-metal bonds when coordinated trans to the Au---Au bond in [Au(II)[(CH₂)₂PPh₂]L]₂ (Ph = phenyl), but have the opposite effect when bonded orthogonally to the metal-metal axis in Au(I) binuclear species. When two gold atoms are bridged by a single carbon atom, belonging either to mesityl (Mes = 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂) or CR₂, the former produces stronger Au(I)---Au(I) interactions, reflected in shorter distances. Formal oxidation states are proposed for the gold atoms in two mixed-valence clusters, [Au4(C₆F₅)₂((PPh₃)_{2CH})2(PPh3)2](ClO4)2 and [{(2,4,6-C6F3H2)Au(CH2PPh2CH2)2Au{in2}-Au(CH₂PPh₂CH₂)₂Au](ClO₄)₂. The results suggest a higher oxidation state for the outer gold atoms, in both the T-shaped tetranuclear cluster and the Au₆ linear chain.     

Synthese und Struktur von [(Ph3PAu)3NPPh3][PF6]2, einem Gold(I)‐phosphoraniminato‐Komplex

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [(Ph₃PAu)₃NPPh₃][PF₆]₂, a Gold(I) Phosphoraneiminato Complex The photolytic reaction of Ph₃PAuN₃ with Cr(CO)₆ in THF yields the phosphoraneiminato complex [(Ph₃PAu)₃NPPh₃]²⁺ in low yield as well as the cluster cation [(Ph₃PAu)₈]²⁺ as the main product. The phosphoraneiminato complex crystallizes from CH₂Cl₂ with [PF₆]^? ions as [(Ph₃PAu)₃NPPh₃][PF₆]₂·CH₂Cl₂ in the triclinic space group with a = 1200.8(1), b = 1495.6(2), 2053.5(5), α = 86.97(2)°, β = 82.79(1)°, γ = 81.87(2)°, and Z = 2. The phosphoraneiminato ligand bridges through its N atom three Au atoms, which itself are connected to each other by weak aurophilic interactions.     

Electrochemical grafting by reduction of 4-aminoethylbenzenediazonium salt: Application to the immobilization of (bio)molecules

We propose in this study a simple and rapid way to produce stable amino-derivatized conductive surfaces for the subsequent immobilization of (bio)molecules. This was achieved through the use of (4-aminoethyl)benzenediazonium salt (AEBD), which was immobilized on glassy carbon and gold electrodes by its electrochemical reduction. The presence of terminal grafted amino functions was evidenced with XPS by analyzing N1s core level. Besides this conventional surface characterisation, an electrochemical strategy is proposed here to evidence the presence of immobilized amines, in which the chemical reactivity of amines towards 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) is used. Surface-bound TNBS served as an electrochemical marker and was detected by cyclic voltammetry. Additionally, pre-modified gold electrodes with amino functions can be derivatized with biomolecules such as glutathione (GSH). Glutathione attachment was evidenced by studying the electrochemical behaviour of ferri/ferrocyanide redox before and after its immobilization. The functionalized electrodes were then used for the detection of copper ions in neutral aqueous solutions.     

LyP-1 peptide-functionalized gold nanoprisms for SERRS imaging and tumor growth suppressing by PTT induced-hyperthermia

The gold nanoprisms (GNPs) have exhibited special plasmonic properties for biomedical applications because of their unique shapes and dimensions. Based on their optical performance, the NIR dye IR780 not only enabled the GNPs-based nanosystem as SERRS nanoparticles for Raman-encoded molecular imaging, but also enhanced the plasmonic photothermal property by laser irradiation. Meanwhile, the GNPs/IR780-Lyp-1 by introduction of tumor-homing peptide segment LyP-1, which presents high affinity to p32 protein, demonstrated the increased enrichment in tumor region and enhanced photothermal therapy efficacy.
