The Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering "Giulio Natta" at the Politecnico di Milano and the University of Bologna have collaborated on the creation of a lab that has for the first time synthesised a substance. The project was published in a journal.
The metal clusters are an innovative class of very complex nanomaterial, characterized by ultra-small dimensions (<2nm)>
It is possible to obtain high-purity samples from the crystallization of metal nanoclusters, but it is not easy to control it. The Sincrotrone Elettra in Trieste has an X-ray facility that can be used to determine the atomic structure ofnanoclusters. The structural description of the most complex fluorinatednano-object has been reported.
The gold nanocluster is stable because of the many interactions between the fluorine atoms of the binder.
Thanks to the grant from the Region of Lombardy, the structure of these advanced nanomaterials will be studied at the Politecnico di Milano.
The chemistry department at the University of Bologna's "G. Ciamician" used quantum chemistry techniques to rationalize the interactions between the atoms.
The physicists from the Politecnico di Milano contributed to the study looking at the optical characteristics of thenanocluster.
