Mercaptothiadiazole ligands functionalized with thiol (2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMT)) and methyl (5-methyl-2-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (MMT)) groups capped onto citrate capped gold nanoparticles (C-AuNPs) by ligand exchange reaction was investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The surface plasmon resonance band at 522 nm for C-AuNPs was shifted to 530 nm after capping with DMT whereas an additional band was observed at 630 nm due to aggregation in addition to a shift in the band at 522 nm after capping of MMT onto C-AuNPs. Thus, capping of DMT onto C-AuNPs leads to the formation of stable AuNPs while capping of MMT leads to the formation of unstable AuNPs. FT-IR studies show that the citrate ions were completely replaced by both DMT and MMT ligands from the AuNPs. TEM images indicate that the size and shape of the AuNPs remain same after capping of these ligands. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Unusual Reactivity of Graphene Quantum Dot-Wrapped Silver Nanoparticles with Hg(II): Spontaneous Growth of Hg Flowers and Their Electrocatalytic Activity

Jincymol Kappen, Sinduja Bharathi, S. Abraham John

Summary: The galvanic reaction between graphene quantum dot (GQD)-stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNP)-modified glassy carbon (GC) surface and Hg(II) leads to the complete dissolution of AgNPs within 15 minutes and the subsequent growth of Hg(0) as a flower on the GQD surface. This unique anti-amalgamation reaction is caused by direct deposition of Hg(0) by available oxygen functional groups and strong adsorption on the GQD graphene surface, followed by subsequent growth of Hg(0) as a flower due to the galvanic reaction between AgNPs and Hg(II).
