A comprehensive evaluation with respect to the mechanistic aspects involved is made and the merits and demerits of the different procedures are delineated. It is found that the salt-induced precipitation and redispersion is more versatile in that the precipitate can actually be redispersed in both aqueous and organic media. However, in terms of mechanism both the routes seem to be very similar wherein the orientational change of oleic acid on the silver surface in the two different environments-organic and aqueous-plays a crucial role in the adaptability of the system to the different environments. Subsequently, this change of orientation of oleic acid on silver surface in aqueous and organic media has been utilized to phase transfer Ni-based nanoparticulate systems. The nascent oleic acid-capped Ni nanoparticles, which were synthesized by a foam-based protocol, were dispersible in water but not in nonpolar organic media such as cyclohexane or toluene. Then, just by coating a thin shell of silver on them we could achieve complete phase transfer of the NicoreAgshell from aqueous to organic media following similar procedures used for oleic acid-capped silver nanoparticles. Here, the phase transfer seems to be facilitated by the orientational flexibility of oleic acid on the silver surface as opposed to other metal surfaces as evidenced from the infrared and thermogravimetric analyses of oleic acid-capped Ni and NicoreAgshell nanoparticles. This orientation-assisted phase transfer method could be generalized and can be adapted to other systems where, if the nascent nanoparticles cannot be phase transferred as is, they can be coated by a silver shell and oleic acid making them suitable for dispersion in both aqueous and organic media.

Varying the concentration of the surfactant and the capping agent has been found to critically govern the nature of the nanoparticles prepared. It is observed that at an optimum concentration of SDS and oleic acid, nearly monodisperse Ni nanoparticles are obtained that form highly ordered hexagonally close-packed structures on electron microscopy grids by a simple drop coating procedure. It is also shown that the presence of oleic acid is necessary for the stability of the Ni nanoparticles synthesized.

These QDs formed a self-assembled monolayer on an aqueous subphase of a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) trough. Here, in this report we introduced a simple but very efficient route to form a metal (Au)-QD hybrid nanostructure via the LB technique. In this method, the metal counterpart of the hybrid nanostructure could be deposited exclusively on one side of the QDs. The formation of stable monolayer of QDs was evidenced from a surface pressure-area (P-A) isotherm. The development of gold tip was confirmed and monitored by detailed TEM study on the monolayer deposited on TEM grids from the LB trough. Other characterizations like UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XPS and EDX also suggested the same. Oleyl amine was shown to act both as a reducing agent as well as a capping agent in this strategy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">110</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.84</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
