Research Abstract |
Recently, much attention has been paid to the development of the method for molecular level modification of metal surfaces in the viewpoint of the preparation of highly functional metallic materials. In this study, we have developed the new surface-modification method for metal substrates and metal nanoparticles by the use of cyclic tris(spiroborate)s (TB). To realize the immobilization of TB onto metal surfaces, we have introduced anchor group such as acetylthio group to TB. These TBs have been proven to act as the protective agents for the stabilization of gold nanoparticles, although fixation of TBs onto the metal substrates was still in progress.
