Published: April 2019

Thiol- and solvent-coordinated cation exchange kinetics have been applied to engineer the composition and crystallinity of novel nanocrystals. The detailed thermodynamics and kinetics of the reactions were explored by NMR spectroscopy, time-dependent photoluminescence (PL) characterizations and theoretical simulations. The fine structure of the colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (CSNCs) was investigated by X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). In this way, high-quality p-type Ag-doped ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and Au@ZnS hetero-nanocrystals with a cubic phase ZnS shell were synthesized successfully.The unprecedented dominant Ag -dopant-induced fluorescence and p-type conductivity in the zinc-blende ZnS are reported.

Controlling the Reactivity of Bifunctional Ligands: Carboxylate-Bridged Nonheme Diiron(II) Complexes Bearing Free Thiol Groups.

Carboxylate-bridged nonheme diiron(II) complexes, bearing free functional groups in general, and free thiol groups in particular, were sought. While the addition of sodium γ-hydroxybutyrate into a mixture of Fe(BF4)2·6H2O, HN-Et-HPTB, and Et3N afforded the complex [Fe2(N-Et-HPTB)(μ-O2C-(CH2)3-OH)](BF4)2 (2) (where N-Et-HPTB is the anion of N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-(1-ethylbenzimidazolyl))-2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane), a similar, straightforward process could not be used for the synthesis of diiron(II) complexes with free thiol groups. In order to circumvent this problem, a new class of thiolate bridged diiron(II) complexes, [Fe2(N-Et-HPTB)(μ-SR(1))](BF4)2 (R(1) = Me (1a), Et (1b), (t)Bu (1c), Ph (1d)) was synthesized.
