For example, collective nanoparticle behaviors are responsible for large surface-enhanced Raman signals1 and first hyperpolarizabilities2 and the familiar red-blue color change currently being exploited in a number of colorimetric assays.3 The success of many emerging nanoscale electronics technologies (e.g., singleelectron devices, quantum cellular automata4) also will depend largely on the ability to organize nanoparticles and optimize capacitive or dipole coupling in the resulting assembly. Collective nanocluster behaviors have traditionally been assessed using extended 2or 3-dimensional nanocluster arrays prepared by (i) salt-induced aggregation,2 (ii) Langmuir techniques,5 (iii) surface assembly,1 or (iv) crystallization.6 Vance and co-workers, for example, utilized hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) to interrogate aqueous suspensions of 13 nm diameter gold particles.2 First hyperpolarizabilities (â) were found to surpass the best available molecular chromophores. Moreover, â increased more than 10-fold upon the addition of salt, likely due to the formation of non-centrosymmetric particle aggregates.7 However, the fact that salt-induced aggregation does not lead to a preferred symmetry precluded a detailed account of structure-optical function relationships. Methods for assembling gold and silver nanoparticle aggregates of well-defined symmetry and interparticle spacing have been developed previously.8 These protocols employ thiol-functionalized phenylacetylene (PA) “templates” 1-5 whose symmetries}, number={48}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY}, author={Novak, JP and Brousseau, LC and Vance, FW and Johnson, RC and Lemon, BI and Hupp, JT and Feldheim, DL}, year={2000}, month={Dec}, pages={12029–12030} }
