Electrochemical Resolution of 15 Oxidation States for Monolayer Protected Gold Nanoparticles

The first observation of 15 voltammetric quantized charging peaks for a solution of hexanethiol-capped gold nanoparticles (so-called monolayer protected clusters MPCs) at room temperature is reported where the variation in peak spacing with increasing charge stored in the metal core is discussed in...

Sumario:The first observation of 15 voltammetric quantized charging peaks for a solution of hexanethiol-capped gold nanoparticles (so-called monolayer protected clusters MPCs) at room temperature is reported where the variation in peak spacing with increasing charge stored in the metal core is discussed in terms of MPC capacitance.
