Question
Xie et al. developed a green, one-pot synthesis that generates cluster compounds containing this element surrounded by a coating of bovine serum albumin. Campanile probes for near-field scanning optical microscopy are usually covered in a layer of this element. MHA and p-MBA ligands are often used to stabilize cluster compounds of this element. Rod-shaped structures composed of this element are typically stabilized with a bilayer of the surfactant (*) CTAB. Though a variety of elements can be used today, this element is the one that was traditionally used in sputter coating of samples for electron microscopy. Surface plasmon resonance produces the red-to-pink color of monodisperse colloidal solutions of this element. For 10 points, relativistic effects in the 5d orbital produce the characteristic color of what noble metal? ■END■
