Dynamic Diglyme-Mediated Self-Assembly of Gold Nanoclusters
2015
We report the assembly of gold nanoclusters by the nonthiolate ligand diglyme into discrete and dynamic assemblies. To understand this surprising phenomenon, the assembly of Au20(SC2H4Ph)15-diglyme into Au20(SC2H4Ph)15-diglyme-Au20(SC2H4Ph)15 is explored in detail. The assembly is examined by high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy, size exclusion chromatography, mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, and calorimetry. We establish a dissociation constant for dimer to monomer conversion of 20.4 μM. Theoretical models validated by transient absorption spectroscopy predict a low-spin monomer and a high-spin dimer, with assembly enabled through weak diglyme oxygen-g…
Synthesis, Reactivity and Theoretical Study of B3H8−and Related Derivatives
1996
Abstract Octahydrotriborate salts, B3H8 −, have been prepared by the reaction of NaBH4 with Lewis acids such as BX3·BDMA (BDMA = benzyldimethylamine, × = Cl,Br) or C2H5I in diglyme. The presence of BH3·BDMA as a by-product in the former reaction provides new insight into the reaction mechanism of B11H14 − formation. In acetonitrile-water solutions of HCl or CH3CO2H, the B3H8 − anion reacted to give B3H7CH3CN or B3H7CH3CO2 − characterized by 11B NMR spectroscopy. Their kinetic hydrolysis study was consistent with NMR analysis. Reaction of Bu4NB3H8 and CuCl2 at 0°C produced pure B3H6Cl2 −. An AM1 theoretical study of the substituted derivatives B3H7L (L = Cl−, CH3CN, CH3CO2 −, OH−) and B3H6L2…
