Structural control of the monolayer stability of water-soluble gold nanoparticles

Sarit S. Agasti, Chang-Cheng You, Palaniappan Arumugam and Vincent M. Rotello


The thermodynamic and kinetic stability of three structurally related monolayer-protected gold clusters have been systematically investigated, revealing that the nanoparticles display significantly different stability against thermo- and cyanide-induced decomposition and external thiol agents.
