These mixed monolayers are therefore strongly non-ideal binary systems. The synthetic routes we explored to achieve mixed monolayer gold nanoparticles displaying hydrogenated and fluorinated ligands clearly show that the final monolayer composition is a non-linear function of the initial reaction mixture. Our data suggest that, under certain geometrical constraints, nucleation and growth of fluorinated domains could be the initial event in the formation of these mixed monolayers. The onset of domain formation depends on the structure of the fluorinated and hydrogenated species. The solubility of the mixed monolayer nanoparticles displayed a marked discontinuity as a function of the monolayer composition. When the fluorinated component content is small, the nanoparticle systems are fully soluble in chloroform, at intermediate content the nanoparticles become soluble in hexane and eventually they become soluble in fluorinated solvents only. The ranges of monolayer compositions in which the solubility transitions are observed depend on the nature of the thiols composing the monolayer.<\/p>","DOI":"10.1039\/c6fd00016a","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,8]],"date-time":"2016-03-08T11:35:44Z","timestamp":1457436944000},"page":"527-543","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1039\/rsc_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Routes to the preparation of mixed monolayers of fluorinated and hydrogenated alkanethiolates grafted on the surface of gold nanoparticles"],"prefix":"10.1039","volume":"191","author":[{"given":"Maria","family":"\u015eologan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and INSTM Trieste Unit"},{"name":"University of Trieste"},{"name":"34127 Trieste"},{"name":"Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cristina","family":"Cantarutti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and INSTM Trieste Unit"},{"name":"University of Trieste"},{"name":"34127 Trieste"},{"name":"Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silvia","family":"Bidoggia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and INSTM Trieste Unit"},{"name":"University of Trieste"},{"name":"34127 Trieste"},{"name":"Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Polizzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Sciences and Nanosystems"},{"name":"University Ca' Foscari of Venezia"},{"name":"I-30172 Venezia-Mestre"},{"name":"Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Pengo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and INSTM Trieste Unit"},{"name":"University of Trieste"},{"name":"34127 Trieste"},{"name":"Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucia","family":"Pasquato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and INSTM Trieste Unit"},{"name":"University of Trieste"},{"name":"34127 Trieste"},{"name":"Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"292","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"reference":[{"key":"C6FD00016A-(cit1)\/*[position()=1]","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfluchem.2015.03.005","volume":"177","author":"Pengo","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
