Mechanistic Insights into the Brust−Schiffrin Two-Phase Synthesis of Organo-chalcogenate-Protected Metal Nanoparticles
Abstract
New insights into the formation chemistry of chalcogenate-protected metal nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized via the well-known Brust-Schiffrin two-phase method are presented here. On the basis of Raman, NMR, and surface plasmon resonance characterizations, it is concluded that, before the formation of any metal-chalcogen bonds, metal nucleation centers/NPs are first formed inside the inverse micelles of the tetrabutylammonium bromide in the organic solvent, where the metal ions are reduced by NaBH(4). The ensuing formation of the metal-chalcogen bonds between the naked metal NPs inside the micelles and the organo-chalcogen ligands in the organic solvent is the mechanism by which the further growth of the metal core can be controlled. This proposed mechanism is further examined in the formation of Ag and Cu NPs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
