  • Title: Stoichiometric functionalization of gold nanoparticles in solution through a free radical polymerization approach.
    Author: Krüger C, Agarwal S, Greiner A.
    Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2008 Mar 05; 130(9):2710-1. PubMed ID: 18254626.
    Abstract:
    A new simple concept for the stoichiometrical functionalization of nanoparticles based on free radical polymerization of vinyl protected nanoparticles is presented. To demonstrate this concept 2-bis(4-vinylphenyl)disulfane was synthesized and used in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles, leading to 4-vinylthiophenol functionalized nanoparticles. Simple free radical polymerization of these particles initiated by 4,4'-azobis-(4-cyanopentanoic acid) delivered nanoparticles with a single carboxyl group. These monofunctionalized gold nanoparticles were utilized for chemical preparation of gold nanoparticle dimers as well as for construction of gold nanoparticle arrays via binding to polyallylamine.
