Deprotonation as a unified pathway for organothiol binding to citrate- and borohydride- reduced gold nanoparticles
<p>The mechanism of organothiol (OT) binding to gold has remained controversial for decades. There are three mechanisms proposed for OT binding to gold surfaces. The first is the radical pathway in which the sulfur-bound hydrogen atoms (RS-H) are released as hydrogen atoms which eventually con...
