Resumen
Los investigadores crearon ensamblajes estables de nanoclústeres (NC) de metal utilizando una novedosa estrategia de reticulación. Este método mejora el control estructural y la robustez, permitiendo nuevas aplicaciones para los NC de metal.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencia de Materiales
- Nanotecnología
- Química Supramolecular
Sus antecedentes:
- Los nanoclústeres (NC) de metal son prometedores para propiedades sintonizables, pero su ensamblaje se ve obstaculizado por interacciones no covalentes inestables.
- Lograr ensamblajes de NC estables y controlados estructuralmente sigue siendo un desafío importante en nanotecnología.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Desarrollar una estrategia sencilla para construir ensamblajes supramoleculares altamente estables de nanoclústeres de oro atómicamente precisos (NC de Au22(SG)18).
- Impartir robustez termodinámica a los ensamblajes de NC frente a condiciones ambientales adversas.
- Explorar el potencial de emisión inducida por agregación (AIE) en estos ensamblajes.
Principales métodos:
- Se utilizaron fuerzas de atracción por agotamiento combinadas con un reticulador de molécula pequeña que contiene tetratio para unir los NC de Au22(SG)18.
- Se investigó la estabilidad de los ensamblajes resultantes en diversas condiciones (pH, disolvente, sonicación, temperatura).
- Se caracterizaron las propiedades fotoluminiscentes de los ensamblajes, observando un mecanismo de emisión inducida por agregación (AIE).
Principales resultados:
- Se construyeron con éxito ensamblajes de NC de Au22(SG)18 altamente estables con enlaces covalentes.
- Se demostró una robustez termodinámica excepcional frente a cambios de pH, disolventes, sonicación y altas temperaturas.
- Se observó una fotoluminiscencia mejorada atribuida a un mecanismo de emisión inducida por agregación (AIE).
- Se extendió el enfoque de ensamblaje a NC de oro no precisos, mostrando una amplia aplicabilidad.
Conclusiones:
- La estrategia de reticulación desarrollada proporciona un método robusto para el ensamblaje supramolecular controlado de NC de metal.
- Los ensamblajes resultantes exhiben una estabilidad y fotoluminiscencia mejoradas, abriendo vías para nanomateriales avanzados.
- Este enfoque es ampliamente aplicable para el ensamblaje controlado de varios NC de metal.

Overview
When two atoms share electrons to complete their valence shells, they create a covalent bond. An atom's electronegativity—the force with which shared electrons are pulled towards an atom—determines how the electrons are shared. Molecules formed with covalent bonds can be either polar or nonpolar. Atoms with similar electronegativities form nonpolar covalent bonds; the electrons are shared equally. Atoms with different electronegativities share electrons unequally,...

Compared to ionic bonds, which results from the transfer of electrons between metallic and nonmetallic atoms, covalent bonds result from the mutual attraction of atoms for a “shared” pair of electrons.

02:18Network Covalent Solids
16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

02:04Covalently Linked Protein Regulators
9.6K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.

2.9K
Plakins are large proteins with binding domains for microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and membrane-associated protein complexes at cell junctions. Plakin functions are evolutionarily conserved and are primarily involved in organizing the different components of the cytoskeleton by crosslinking them to each other and connecting them to the cell-matrix and cell adhesion complexes. They are also known to interact with signal transducers, serve as scaffolds for signaling...
