Phosphonic and Sulfonic Acid-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles: A Solid-State NMR Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Gold nanoparticles capped with 11-mercaptoundecanylphosphonic acid (MUP) and sodium 10-mercaptodecanesulfonic acid (MDS) were characterized by a range of techniques which included solid-state 31P and 13C NMR spectroscopies. Despite similar core sizes and alkyl chain lengths, the conformational and dynamic properties of the capping ligands are very different for the two types of nanoparticles. Whereas MDS produces disordered monolayers on planar gold surfaces, the MDS-capped nanoparticles show a high degree of chain order with the onset of reversible chain disordering occurring just above room temperature. The alkyl chains of MUP adsorbed on the gold nanoparticles are more ordered and motionally restricted than the unbound solid surfactant due to strong intramonolayer and interparticle hydrogen bonds. This conformational order is thermally stable, and disordering only occurs upon decomposition and desorption of MUP from the gold core. Solid-state 31P NMR has been demonstrated to be a sensitive probe of the interactions of the PO3H2 terminal groups.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
