Synthesis of small water-soluble diazirine-functionalized gold nanoparticles and their photochemical modification
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Dual water and organic solvent soluble 3-aryl-3-(trifluormethyl) diazirine-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared through a place exchange reaction from triethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EG 3 -Me) capped AuNPs. These nanoparticles were fully characterized using 1 H and 19 F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). TGA along with 1 H NMR data allowed the determination of 15% incorporation of diazirine (Diaz) ligands onto mixed monolayer AuNPs, while TEM images showed an average diameter of 2.3 ± 0.5 nm. This information led to the estimated molecular formula of Au 400 (S-EG 4 -Diaz) 40 (S-EG 3 -Me) 230 for these AuNPs. It is noteworthy that high-resolution XPS was a powerful tool for quantitative analysis. Irradiation of the diazirine capped AuNPs resulted in nitrogen extrusion and the formation of a highly reactive carbene with evidence of a portion of the reaction proceeding via the diazo intermediate and thus requiring a second photon for activation. The carbene species generated was utilized to tether the attached AuNPs via insertion into C=C or O–H functionality inherent on various substrates. Here, we demonstrated that photolysis of the diazirine modified AuNPs in the presence of a variety of model carbene scavengers led to clean and efficient insertion products while maintaining their solubility in polar solvents.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
