Polymorphism in Nano-Sized Graphene Ligand-Induced Transformation of Au38-xAgx/xCux(SPh-tBu)24 to Au36-xAgx/xCux(SPh-tBu)24 (x=1-12) Nanomolecules for Synthesis of Au144-xAgx/xCux[(SR)60,(SC4)60, (SC6)60, (SC12)60,(PET)60, (p-MBA)60, (F)60, (Cl)60,(Br)60, (I)60, (At)60, (Uus)60 and (SC6H13)60] Nano

Abstract

Received: May 24, 2017 Accepted: May 25, 2017 Published: May 30, 2017 Our main objective is to develop strategies to exploit the photo-, electro-, and thermal-chemical reactions of these systems to severe as probes to aid in our basic understanding of the mechanistic factors that control molecular interactions and organic reactions at organized monolayer interfaces. Also, the development of new and selective ways of adding or removing functionality to these monolayers is another part of our ongoing efforts. In the present editorial, we have synthesized Au144-xAgx/xCux[(SR)60, (SC4)60, (SC6)60, (SC12)60, (PET)60, (p-MBA)60, (F)60, (Cl)60, (Br)60, (I)60, (At)60, (Uus)60 and (SC6H13)60] Nano clusters as anti-cancer Nano drugs and incorporated them onto the surface of gold nanoparticles through the place-exchange reaction. Then, the interfacial reactions of the anchored aldehyde terminus with various nucleophiles have been investigated in some details. Our preliminary results reveal an easy reaction of aldehyde terminus of the organic modified gold nanoparticle with the nucleophiles like aniline, leading to a covalent attachment of the nucleophilic species to the nanoparticle surface.
