Dithiocarbamate Ligands with Biosensing Applications
Purdue University researchers have developed an innovative method for coating metal surfaces with dithiocarbamate (DTC) ligands. DTC ligands can absorb onto metal surfaces with the same degree of generality as thiols, but with greater resistance to surface desorption or displacement. DTC ligands can be formed under extremely mild conditions and are especially useful for robust functionalization of metal substrates and nanoparticles intended for biological labeling and biosensing applications.
Can withstand a wide range of environments including a pH range of 1 to 12Resistant to displacement by competing surfactants Increased stability under physiological conditions
