Conformation and dynamics of the ligand shell of a water-soluble Au102 nanoparticle

The core structure of inorganic nanoparticles, stabilized by a passivating layer of organic molecules, is often known but information about the organic layer is tougher to derive. Here, the authors use NMR and computational methods to probe the ligand disorder and visualize possible ligand conformat...
