RNA-mediated synthesis of palladium nanoparticles on Au surfaces
RNA catalysts for the shape-controlled synthesis of Pd particles from the precursor complex trisdibenzylideneacetone dipalladium ([Pd2(DBA)3] were recently discovered in our laboratory (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 17814-17818). In the work described here, RNA codes for hexagonal Pd platelets and Pd...

| Zusammenfassung: | RNA catalysts for the shape-controlled synthesis of Pd particles from the precursor complex trisdibenzylideneacetone dipalladium ([Pd2(DBA)3] were recently discovered in our laboratory (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 17814-17818). In the work described here, RNA codes for hexagonal Pd platelets and Pd cubes were covalently immobilized on gold surfaces and evaluated for their activity toward particle synthesis. When coupled to gold via oligoethylene glycol linkers, both RNA sequences were able to catalyze the formation of Pd particles with the same shape control previously observed in solution. For low surface coverages, the average distance between RNA molecules on the surface was estimated at ca. 300 nm, yet large (e.g., dimensions of hundreds of nanometers) Pd hexagons and cubes still formed. This surprising result suggests that a single RNA molecule may be sufficient for nucleating and controlling the shapes of these particles. Finally, the use of surface-bound RNA as a tool for directing the orthogonal synthesis of materials on surfaces was demonstrated. Patterning the RNA code for Pd hexagons next to the code for Pd cubes, followed by incubation in a solution containing [Pd2(DBA)3], resulted in the spontaneous formation of spatially distinct spots of hexagonal and cubic particles |
