Abstract
The effect ofα-substitute groups at the asymmetric carbon of chiral monocarboxylic acid ligand, on the chirality of CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) was studied. When the substitution groups have strong electron-withdrawing capability, the CdSe NCs displayed an enhanced chirality where theg-factors were comparable to those with dicarboxylic chiral ligands. In addition, adding ethanol was demonstrated as an effective way to stabilize NCs, however, completely oppositeg-factor evolution behavior was found for NCs with differentα-substituted ligands. Specifically, theg-factor has increased/decreased with strong/weak electron-withdrawingα-substitute groups probably due to the different intermolecular hydrogen bonding between carboxylic acids and ethanol.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to publish papers at the forefront of nanoscale science and technology and especially those of an interdisciplinary nature. Here, nanotechnology is taken to include the ability to individually address, control, and modify structures, materials and devices with nanometre precision, and the synthesis of such structures into systems of micro- and macroscopic dimensions such as MEMS based devices. It encompasses the understanding of the fundamental physics, chemistry, biology and technology of nanometre-scale objects and how such objects can be used in the areas of computation, sensors, nanostructured materials and nano-biotechnology.
