These carbon-based nanocages ... has prepared novel conjugated ligands that can be further used in making metal complexes for the development of molecular electronics. From this type of material ...

A solution is then poured onto the liquid metal. The solution contains molecules called ligands that are made up of carbon and oxygen. These ligands harvest ions from the surface of the liquid ...

Through atomic-level surface engineering of Cu nanoclusters (NCs), the team has opened up new avenues for effective and environmentally responsible carbon ... the thiolate ligands (PET: 2 ...
