摘要

Surface passivation technology provides noble-metal materials with limited chemical stability, especially under highly acidic condition. To design effective strategy to enhance stability of noble-metal particles, an understanding of their surface anticorrosion mechanism at the atomic level is desirable by using two-dimensional (2D) noble-metal coordination polymer (CP) as an ideal model for their interfacial region. With the protection of 2-thiobenzimidazole (TBI), we isolated two Ag-based 2D CPs, {Ag-14(TBI)(12)X-2}(n) (S-X, where S denotes sheet and X=Cl or Br). These compounds exhibited excellent chemical stability upon immersion in various common solvents, boiling water, boiling ethanol, 10 % hydrogen peroxide, concentrated acid (12 M HCl), and concentrated alkali (19 M NaOH). Systematic characterization and DFT analyses demonstrate that the superior stability of S-X was attributed to the hydrophobic organic shell and dynamic proton buffer layer acting as a double protective "shield".
