ABSTRACTThiolate-gold nanoclusters exhibit unique optical, magnetic and chiral properties, which are attractive for novel applications in nanotechnology. A fundamental challenge facing these nanomaterials is being able to study and understand their physical properties in various experimental conditions. To overcome this, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy can be employed to probe the Au local structure of thiolate-gold nanoclusters in a variety of conditions, providing valuable structural information from multiple bonding environments (i.e. metal-metal and metal-ligand interactions). This study discusses a methodology for conducting a multishell EXAFS fitting analysis that can be implemented for thiolate-gold nanocluster systems. Specifically, experimental and simulated EXAFS data for Au36(SR)24 nanoclusters are examined with a total of 5 scattering paths fitted to the experimental data.

We induced a terpyridine moiety into a norbornene-based polymer to demonstrate its self-healing property, without an external stimulus, such as light, heat, or healing agent, using metal–ligand interactions. We synthesized terpyridine incorporated norbornene-based polymers using a ring-opening metathesis polymerization. The sol state of diluted polymer solutions was converted into supramolecular assembled gels, through the addition of transition metal ions (Ni2+, Co2+, Fe2+, and Zn2+). In particular, a supramolecular complex gel with Zn2+, which is a metal with a lower binding affinity, demonstrated fast self-healing properties, without any additional external stimuli, and its mechanical properties were completely recovered.
