How molecules change the way materials form and perform
分子如何改变材料的形貌和性能

ABSTRACT
l-ligand chemistry impacts nearly every aspect of nanoparticle formation, physical properties, and utility. We develop methods to study and leverage these interactions to produce tailored llic and l-like nanoparticles with dimensions spanning the nanoscale (1-100 nm). Specifically, we discuss how these interactions may be used to access previously unobserved composition architectures, direct particle optoelectronic behaviors, and control both wanted and unwanted stability downstream. Underpinning these studies is the development of analytical techniques to quantitatively track particle structural, electronic, and surface properties. Taken together, these results not only produce robust particle platforms, but also general methodologies for synthesis and analysis that, together, point toward successful integration of these materials in a wide variety of applications.
金属配体化学几乎影响到纳米颗粒形成、物理性质和用途的方方面面。我们开发了各种方法用于研究和利用金属配体的相互作用的从而制备纳米尺度（1-100nm）的金属纳米颗粒及类金属纳米颗粒。具体来说，我们讨论了如何利用这些相互作用研究之前未曾观察到的组成结构、引导粒子光电行为，并控制调控所需的和不需要的的稳定性。这些研究的依赖于分析化学技术的发展从而定量跟踪粒子的结构性质、电子性质和表面性质。综上所述，这些研究结果不仅提供了稳定的的粒子平台，而且还衍生了用于合成和分析的通用方法，这种集成将在材料领域提供广泛的应用。
