Chemical Transformations via Photon Induced Metal-to-Molecule Electron Transfer at Metal Nanocrystal Surfaces

Abstract

The overall objective of the research proposed was to develop a holistic understanding of energy transfer by direct photoexcitation of adsorbate-metal bonds on metal nanoparticle surfaces and the knowhow to exploit this phenomenon to manipulate reaction selectivity in a rational manner. The specific objectives are: (1) Develop relationships between adsorbate/metal electronic structure and the impact of bond formation on the optical properties of sub 5-nanometer meal particles.
