Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing soluble neodymium chloride complex using neodymium chloride aqueous solution as raw material, thereby avoiding the use of anhydrous neodymium chloride, simplifying the synthesis process and reducing the cost for synthesizing neodymium chloride complex.

The general nature of the presented ligand exchange approach, in combination with the ease preparation, makes this approach of broad utility. The approach is general and shows the high tolerance for a wide variety of functional groups. Mechanistic studies provided conclusive evidence that the Au11 core of the precursor particle remains intact during ligand exchange and showed that the ligand exchange of these particles follows a different pathway than for ligand exchanges of larger gold nanoparticles such as “Au101(PPh3)21Cl5”. Optical studies of the products show a strong dependence on the nature of the stabilizing thiol ligands.
