Abstract:Recently, water‐soluble gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have attracted more and more attention due to their unique properties. In this study, penicillamine‐protected gold nanoclusters (Pen‐AuNCs) were synthesized and initially fractionated by sequential size‐selective precipitation (SSSP). The crude Pen‐AuNCs and SSSP fractions were separated by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with a diode array detector. The effects of key parameters, including the concentration of phosphate buffer, pH value and the ethanol co… Show more
“…183 Size-dependent electrophoretic migration and separation of water-soluble gold nanoclusters were also obtained by capillary electrophoresis. 184 HPLC benefits from high resolution and repeatability. 185,186 This technique also has the advantage to be straightforwardly coupled online with electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS), as opposed to separation by other techniques (PAGE).…”
Mass spectrometry (MS) is widely used in molecular science, and is now emerging as a characterization technique for ultra-small nanoparticles. In the field of atomically precise nanoclusters, MS combined to...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
