Application

This aminoalkanethiol can be utilized for the surface modification of gold nanoparticles. The amino groups introduced by the aminoalkanethiols on the gold surface are usually modified with amine reactive materials such as proteins or other biomaterials. The longer alkane chain helps form a more stable self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold surface due to the greater Van-der-Waals forces between alkane chains.

The effect of the external charge trap on the photoluminescence blinking dynamics of individual colloidal quantum dots is investigated with a series of colloidal quantum dot-bridge-fullerene dimers with varying bridge lengths, where the fullerene moiety acts as a well-defined, well-positioned
