  • EFFICIENT LIGAND EXCHANGE OF A DETERGENT BILAYER ON THE SURFACE OF METAL NANOPARTICLES FOR MOLECULAR FUNCTIONALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY, CORRESPONDING FUNCTIONALIZED NANOPARTICLES AND NANOPARTICLE ASSEMBLIES, AND THEIR USE IN PLASMONIC APPLICATIONS INCLUDING SURFACE-ENHANCED RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY
    Publication number: 20210140953
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method allowing a particularly efficient ligand exchange of a detergent bilayer on the surface of metal nanoparticles for molecular functionalization and assembly, and corresponding functionalized nanoparticles and nanoparticle assemblies that can be prepared using this method, as illustrated in FIG. 16, as well as their use, e.g., for plasmonic applications such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In particular, the invention provides corresponding methods for preparing a dimeric nanoparticle assembly, a core-satellite nanoparticle assembly, and a functionalized nanoparticle, respectively.
