Click Chemistry: Mechanistic Insights into the Role of Amines Using Single-Molecule Spectroscopy (2017)
Journal Article
Wang, B., Lanterna, A. E., & Scaiano, J. C. (2017). Click Chemistry: Mechanistic Insights into the Role of Amines Using Single-Molecule Spectroscopy. ACS Catalysis, 7(12), 8487-8492. https://doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.7b03150

Single-molecule spectroscopy is used to gain insights into the click chemistry reaction photocatalyzed by copper. We show that CuxO@Nb2O5 catalysts can act as truly heterogeneous photocatalysts and that the amine plays an important role in the comple...

Thiol-Stabilized Gold Nanoparticles: New Ways To Displace Thiol Layers Using Yttrium or Lanthanide Chlorides (2017)
Journal Article
Vanegas, J. P., Scaiano, J. C., & Lanterna, A. E. (2017). Thiol-Stabilized Gold Nanoparticles: New Ways To Displace Thiol Layers Using Yttrium or Lanthanide Chlorides. Langmuir, 33(43), 12149-12154. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.7b01898

We use the aurophilic interactions shown by lanthanides to overcome the sulfur–gold interaction. UV–vis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirm that yttrium or lanthanide chlorides easily displace sulfur ligands from the surface of thiol-stabili...

Visible Light Production of Hydrogen by Ablated Graphene: Water Splitting or Carbon Gasification? (2017)
Journal Article
Fasciani, C., Lanterna, A. E., Giorgi, J. B., & Scaiano, J. C. (2017). Visible Light Production of Hydrogen by Ablated Graphene: Water Splitting or Carbon Gasification?. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 139(32), 11024-11027. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.7b06570

Reduced graphene oxide modified by pulsed laser ablation causes water splitting under visible light illumination (532 nm). When the light source is a pulsed laser, water splitting is accompanied by carbon gasification (CO formation); however, convent...

Photophysics of 7-mercapto-4-methylcoumarin and derivatives: complementary fluorescence behaviour to 7-hydroxycoumarins (2017)
Journal Article
Lanterna, A. E., González-Béjar, M., Frenette, M., & Scaiano, J. C. (2017). Photophysics of 7-mercapto-4-methylcoumarin and derivatives: complementary fluorescence behaviour to 7-hydroxycoumarins. Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences, 16(8), 1284-1289. https://doi.org/10.1039/c7pp00121e

The photophysical behaviour of 7-mercapto-4-methylcoumarin (C-SH) and derivatives has been studied in different solvents. In contrast to 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin, C-SH shows poor emission, but high fluorescence when the thiol is alkylated. The orig...
