CdS nanoclusters stabilized by thiolate ligands: A mini-review

One of the most exciting frontiers in materials chemistry in recent years is the optoelectronics of quantum-confined semiconductor nanoclusters. These nanoclusters are 10–200 A in diameter, and in this size regime exhibit extra-ordinarily interesting quantum mechanical effects. Cadmium sulfide is a popular semiconductor for these studies, and reviewed here is the synthesis and charac-terization of such CdS nanoclusters, with emphasis on how chemical control of the surface by thiolates influences product formation and properties. Also described are the syntheses and structures of true molecular clusters of CdS capped with thiolate ligands.     

Ruthenium nanoclusters anchored on cobalt phosphide hollow microspheres by green phosphating process for full water splitting in acidic electrolyte

Transition metal phosphide(TMP) based electrocatalysts possessing special crystal and electronic structures attract broad attention in the field of electrocatalysis.Immense effort is made to optimize TMP catalysts aiming to satisfy the electrochemical catalysis performance.In this work,an environmentally friendly in situ green phosphating strategy and spatial limiting effect of the RuCo precursor is employed to fabricate the ruthenium nanoclusters anchored on cobalt phosphide hollow microspheres(Ru NCs/Co₂P HMs).The obtained Ru NCs/Co₂P HMs electrocatalysts exhibit high hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) activity at wide pH ranges,which require an overpotential of 77 mV to achieve the current density of 10 mA/cm² in 0.5 mol/L H₂SO₄ and 118 mV in 1.0 mol/L KOH.Besides,the multifunctional Ru NCs/Co₂P HMs exhibit good oxygen evolution reaction(OER) activity with an overpotential of 197 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA/cm² in 0.5 mol/L H₂SO₄,which is below that of the commercial RuO₂ electrocatalyst(248 mV).A two-electrode electrolyzer is assembled as well,in acid electrolyte,it achieves a current density of 10 mA/cm² at a voltage of 1.53 V,which is superior to that of the benchmark of precious metal-based electrolyzer(1.58 V).     

Polyhydrido Copper Nanoclusters with a Hollow Icosahedral Core: [Cu30H18{E2P(OR)2}12] (E=S or Se; R=nPr,iPr or iBu)

Although atomically precise polyhydrido copper nanoclusters are of prime interest for a variety of applications, they have so far remained scarce. Herein, this work describes the synthesis of a dithiophosphate-protected copper(I) hydride-rich nanocluster (NC), [Cu₃₀H₁₈{S₂P(OnPr)₂}₁₂] ( 1_H ), fully characterized by various spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray structure of 1_H reveals an unprecedented central Cu₁₂ hollow icosahedron. Six faces of this icosahedron are capped by Cu₃ triangles, the whole Cu₃₀ core being wrapped by twelve dithiophosphate ligands and the whole cluster has ideal S₆ symmetry. The locations of the 18 hydrides in 1_H were ascertained by a single-crystal neutron diffraction study. They are composed of three types: capping μ₃-H, interstitial μ₄-H (seesaw) and μ₅-H ligands (square pyramidal), in good agreement with the DFT simulations. The numbers of hydrides and ligand resonances in the ¹H NMR spectrum of 1_H are in line with their coordination environment in the solid state, retaining the S₆ symmetry in solution. Furthermore, two new Se-protected polyhydrido copper nanoclusters, [Cu₃₀H₁₈{Se₂P(OR)₂}₁₂] ( 2_H : R=iPr 3_H : R=iBu) were synthesized from their sulfur relative 1_H via ligand displacement reaction and their X-ray structures feature the exceptional case where both the NC shape and size are fully conserved during the course of ligand exchange. DFT and TD-DFT calculations allow understanding the bonding and optical properties of clusters 1_H – 3_H . In addition, the reaction of 1_H with [Pd(PPh₃)₂Cl₂] in the presence of terminal alkynes led to the formation of new bimetallic Cu−Pd alloy clusters [PdCu₁₄H₂{S₂P(OnPr)₂}₆(C≡CR)₆] ( 4 : R=Ph; 5 : R = C₆H₄F).     

Nitrogen Donor Protection for Atomically Precise Metal Nanoclusters

Surface organic ligands are critical in dictating the structures and properties of atomically precise metal nanoclusters. In contrast to the conventionally used thiolate, phosphine and alkynyl ligands, nitrogen donor ligands have not been used in the protection for well-defined metal nanoclusters until recently. This review focuses on recent developments in atomically precise metal nanoclusters stabilized by different types of nitrogen donor ligands, in which the synthesis, total structure determination and various properties are covered. We hope that this review will provide insights into the rational design of N donor-protected metal nanoclusters in terms of structural and functional modulation.

Preparation and Characterization of Cyclohexyl Moiety Toughened POSS-Reinforced Epoxy Nanocomposites

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites were prepared by reacting commercially available diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) and tetraglycidyl diamino diphenyl methane (TGDDM) epoxy resins with 1,1-bis(3-methyl-4-glycidyloxyphenyl)cyclohexane (Cy-Ep) separately and reinforced with POSS nanocluster. POSS (OAPS)-reinforced hybrid Cy-Ep-epoxy resin castings were characterized for their mechanical and morphological properties. The data obtained from mechanical studies indicated that the incorporation of nano OAPS into Cy-Ep modified hybrid systems results in improved stability. Among the epoxy systems studied, the TGDDM-based hybrid epoxy system exhibited higher values of tensile and flexural properties than that of the DGEBA hybrid epoxy system, whereas the impact strength of the DGEBA system was higher than that of the TGDDM system. The dispersion of POSS was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and visual observation studies.     

Glucose oxidase-functionalized fluorescent gold nanoclusters as probes for glucose

Creation and application of noble metal nanoclusters have received continuous attention. By integrating enzyme activity and fluorescence for potential applications, enzyme-capped metal clusters are more desirable. This work demonstrated a glucose oxidase (an enzyme for glucose)-functionalized gold cluster as probe for glucose. Under physiological conditions, such bioconjugate was successfully prepared by an etching reaction, where tetrakis (hydroxylmethyl) phosphonium-protected gold nanoparticle and thioctic acid-modified glucose oxidase were used as precursor and etchant, respectively. These bioconjugates showed unique fluorescence spectra (λ_{em max} = 650 nm, λ_{ex max} = 507 nm) with an acceptable quantum yield (ca. 7%). Moreover, the conjugated glucose oxidase remained active and catalyzed reaction of glucose and dissolved O₂ to produce H₂O₂, which quenched quantitatively the fluorescence of gold clusters and laid a foundation of glucose detection. A linear range of 2.0 × 10⁻⁶–140 × 10⁻⁶ M and a detection limit of 0.7 × 10⁻⁶ M (S/N = 3) were obtained. Also, another horseradish peroxidase/gold cluster bioconjugate was produced by such general synthesis method. Such enzyme/metal cluster bioconjugates represented a promising class of biosensors for biologically important targets in organelles or cells.     

Influence of Pt Alloying on the Fluorescence of Fully Inorganic,Colloidal Gold Nanoclusters

Noble metal alloy nanoclusters (NCs) are interesting systems as the properties of two or more elements can be combined in one particle, leading to interesting fluorescence phenomena. However, previous studies have been exclusively performed on ligand-capped NCs from wet chemical synthesis. This makes it difficult to differentiate to which extent the fluorescence is affected by ligand-induced effects or the elemental composition of the metal core. In this work, we used laser fragmentation in liquids (LFL) to fabricate colloidal gold-rich bi-metallic AuPt NCs in the absence of organic ligands and demonstrate the suitability of this technique to produce molar fraction series of 1nm alloy NC. We found that photoluminescence of ligand-free NCs is not a phenomenon limited to Au. However, even minute amounts of Pt atoms in the AuPt NCs lead to quenching and red-shift of the fluorescence, which may be attributed to the altered surface charge density.
