Interaction with gold

This topic will be divided into two parts according to the heterometal interacting with gold the first will focus on the luminescent supramolecular structures that contain gold and other coinage elements the second will examine those containing gold and other heterometals. 

Mercury interaction with gold electrodes coated by hexadecanethiol was confirmed by measurements with a quartz crystal microbalance (Fig. 12.7b) an incubation of quartz with hexadecanethiol-coated gold electrodes in the presence of mercury vapour resulted in a decrease of the resonance frequency, thus indicating an increase of the electrode mass. The adsorbed amount of mercury can be estimated from Sa-uerbrey equations the effect observed corresponds to adsorption of 0.5 pg of mercury per cm2 of the gold surface.

In order to make comparison with the experiment [Park 2000], we chose the frequency = 5 meV, which corresponds to a (, m quantum dot interacting with gold electrodes via the Lennard-Jones potentials. For the electron temperatures ksT = 0.4 meV, the vibrational amplitude is xo 0.03A, and hence only the zero-point mode is active, provided O > kj j. The equilibrium distance D/2 6.2Aseparates the center-of-mass of the quantum dot from both leads. When eV < Q, the frequency shifts un are negligible, since the system "leads + dot" is cold ksT < Q, and therefore vn = F xn = xn/D < nVL. 

This facet of industry might appear to be free from corrosion. On the contrary, there are problems such as the corrosion of aluminum used for tracks on most devices. There is the high probability of strong galvanic interaction with gold used for connectors. Many critical systems must function in severe environments such as a temperature range below zero to 40 °C, 100% humidity, airborne particulate matter and insects. This is certainly a challenging problem. 

Table 8.1 shows properties and physiological functions of some essential blood plasma proteins used here to study their interaction with gold NPs decorated with citric acid (the most common surface coating for gold NPs since it assists in their synthesis and promotes NPs solubility in water). 

Plastics and molecular crystals generally have a low 7c and, therefore, are poorly wettable by water. One technique to increase their wettability is to coat them with gold. However, it would be a mistake to believe that gold-coated plastic behaves like bulk gold. The liquid does interact with gold, but that does not mean that interactions with the plastic substrate are entirely...
