GNPs are also used for the synthesis of novel nano-structured materials such as nanocomposites with graphene, carbon nano-tubes and/or fullerenes. Nanodiamonds (NDs) show unique mechanical, thermal and electrical properties which make them promising molecular building blocks in nanotechnology. Because of their biocompatibility and non-toxicity [1], NDs are used as drug carriers and building blocks e.g., for the fabrication of tissue scaffolds and surgical implants, etc. Metal carbides are extensively applied in industry. For a long time it was believed that gold is not forming carbides. Matthew in 1900 reported for the first time gold carbide (Au2C2) [2]. The formation of gold carbides via laser ablation synthesis was preliminarily indicated in our laboratory [3, 4]. Nowadays, it is known that i) gold forms not only carbides but also aurides and ii) gold-carbon interaction is important for development of electronic devices. The aim of this work is to study the formation of gold carbides via laser ablation synthesis (LAS) using as a precursor a kind of nanocomposite of GNPs with NDs. The GNPs-NDs nanocomposite (Fig. 1 a) was prepared and characterized by atomic force and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Laser ablation synthesis of gold carbides (Fig. 2) was carried out by laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LDI-TOF-MS). Example of mass spectrum indicating the formation of singly charged AumCn+ clusters is given in Fig. 1 b. Gold carbides AuCn+ (n = 1-11), Au2Cn+ (n = 1-16) and Au3Cn+ (n = 1-10) and also some gold aurides were observed. The structure of observed AumCn clusters most probably corresponds to gold carbides, but also endohedral supramolecular complex formation, e.g., Au@C10 is not excluded (Fig. 3) [5]. Such possibility was supported by modelling via semi-empirical approach using the HYPERCHEMTM program (release 5.1, 1998) from Hyper-cube Inc. (Gainesville, FL, USA). The confirmation of diamond doped structure with gold atom would mean the first experimental evidence of gold-doped NDs. Concluding, laser ablation of GNPs-NDs nanocomposite leads to synthesis of Au-C clusters. Stoichiometry of altogether 37 gold carbides was established while also some gold aurides were formed probably from partially hydrogenated NDs. It is suggested that some “gold carbides” might be gold-modified diamonds or gold-diamond endohedral complexes. Results concerning the synthesis via laser ablation might initiate development of new Au-C materials with specific properties. ER -
