Electronic Properties of a Functionalized Noble Metal Nanoparticles Covalent Network
Functionalized gold and silver nanoparticles have been prepared and
characterized by means of spectroscopic and morphological techniques together focused
on electrical measurements on cast deposited films. The Au and Ag nanoparticles have
been functionalized with a on purpose prepared conjugated dithiol, 9,9-didodecyl-2,7-bisthiofluorene
(FL), giving rise to organic solvents soluble AuNPs-FL and AgNPs-FL
samples, respectively. In the case of AuNPs-FL, well separated nanoparticles, with an
