报告摘要：
Monolayer-protected metal clusters (MPCs) are hybrid metal nanoparticles consisting of a metal core and a protecting layer of organic ligand molecules. They have a precise mass and chemical composition, and in many cases their structure is known to atomic precision. During the last decade, experimental and computational investigations of MPCs have burgeoned, yielding ample novel information about physical, chemical, catalytic, optical, biological and medical properties of these atomically defined nanomaterials. The often precise knowledge of the MPCs’ atomic structure creates an excellent starting point to use various atomistic simulation tools to understand their structure-property relations. However, MPCs can have complex interactions with their environments, which creates challenges to simulations due to needed length scales, time scales or the need to describe the complex chemical interactions properly on an equal footing. I will discuss challenges to model water-soluble noble metal MPCs that can be functionalized for biological imaging/sensing and drug-delivery applications, and propose possible pathways to consolidate current methods in future hybrid methodologies.
