Abstract
In borohydride-protected nanosilvers in laponite sol, the silver particles aggregate to form short chains and a dumbbell shape. The 1H NMR measurements in this study represent, to our knowledge, the first observation of proton resonances of borohydride-protected nanosilvers in aqueous solution. Borohydride on nanosilver can be exchanged with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) or trioctylphosphine (TOP). Transmission electron microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy data show that the number of aggregated silver nanoparticles decreases upon addition of aforementioned ligands due to the formation of silver MPCs (monolayer-protected clusters). Adsorption of MUA or TOP on nanosilver is confirmed through the observation of broad proton resonances of MPCs in 1H NMR spectra.
