| 报告介绍 | 报告摘要：
Determining the total structures of nanoparticles constitutes a major goal in nanoscience research. Gold nanoparticles are particularly attractive due to their extraordinary stability and elegant optical properties. A prerequisite to total structure determination is to obtain atomically precise nanoparticles, which had been a major challenge in the past research and thus hampered the pursuit of fundamental science of nanoparticles. We have recently developed successful methodologies for synthesizing atomically precise gold nanoparticles protected by thiolates (denoted as Aun(SR)m, with n ranging from a few dozens to hundreds). Such ultrasmall nanoparticles (ca. 13 nm) exhibit distinct quantum size effects and interesting electronic/optical properties, which are fundamentally different from the plasmon-dominated properties of their larger counterparts (e.g. 5100 nm nanoparticles). New types of atom-packing structures have been discovered in ultrasmall Aun(SR)m nanoparticles through X-ray crystallographic analysis. These well-defined nanoparticles hold potential in catalysis as new model catalysts, and atomic level structure-reactivity correlation will ultimately offer fundamental understanding on nanocatalysis.
