The tuneable complexation of gold nanoparticles
Graeme Cooke, James F. Garety, Shanika Gunatilaka Hewage, Gouher Rabani, Vincent M. Rotello and Patrice Woisel
Mixed monolayer protected gold nanoparticles have been fabricated incorporating 1,5-dialkyloxynaphthalene moieties that are capable of forming complexes with the tetracationic cyclophane cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene); electrochemical reduction of the cyclophane or the addition of tetrathiafulvalene results in disassembly of the complexes.
