title: Excimer probe of the binding of alkyl disulfides to gold nanoparticles and subsequent monolayer dynamics.
abstract: A symmetric alkyl disulfide bearing two pyrenyl chromophores allows for fluorescence monitoring of its binding to gold nanoparticles and the subsequent diffusion of the geminate thiolates on the particle surface.
