Tunable self-assembly properties of amphiphilic phosphole alkynylgold(Ⅰ) complexes through variation of the extent of the aromatic π-surface at the alkynyl moieties

摘要

A new class of amphiphilic phosphole alkynylgold(Ⅰ) complexes was synthesized and was demonstrated to display sheet-like nano-structures in aqueous DMSO solution. Modulation of the extent of the aromatic π-surface at the alkynyl ligands was found to affect the self-assembly properties as well as the stability of the aggregates as revealed by the nucleation-elongation model.
