Novel thiol-terminated bent-core liquid crystals (LCs) are used to decorate gold nanoparticles. Thioacetate or xanthate/xanthogenate functional groups are used to effect the attachment of the LCs to the gold nanoparticles. Such bent-core decorated nanoparticles may be dissolved in bent-core liquid crystal host media to provide polarizable systems which respond quickly to applied electric fields and exhibit other interesting and useful optical and electro-optic behaviour.
使用新型
硫醇末端的弯曲核液晶(LCs)来装饰
金纳米颗粒。
硫乙酸酯或黄药/黄原酸酯功能团被用于将LCs附着到
金纳米颗粒上。这种装饰的弯曲核纳米颗粒可以溶解在弯曲核液晶宿主介质中,提供可极化的系统,对施加的电场快速响应,并表现出其他有趣和有用的光学和电光行为。
