Theoretical investigation of the growth mechanism of gold thiolate nanoparticles

Doctor of Philosophy === Department of Chemistry === Christine M. Aikens === This body of work describes a theoretical study of the growth mechanism of gold thiolate nanoparticles from Au(III) as synthesized in the Brust-Schiffrin method. The Au(III) salt can be reduced to form Au(I) by two thiols o...
