  • Title: Self-assembled nanofibers from leucine derived amphiphiles as nanoreactors for growth of ZnO nanoparticles.
    Author: Johnson KT, Gribb TE, Smoak EM, Banerjee IA.
    Journal: Chem Commun (Camb); 2010 Mar 14; 46(10):1757-9. PubMed ID: 20177640.
    Abstract:
    We report a new method for the green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles. A new leucine-based diamine amphiphile was synthesized and self-assembled, which in the presence of Zn(2+) ions assembled into nanofibers, that efficiently formed ZnO nanoparticles upon heating in the presence of Zn(CH(3)COO)(2). Further, these ZnO nanoparticles functioned as efficient photocatalysts.
