Gold Nanomaterials:
Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles

3-5 nm (1-mercaptounde-11-yl) tetraethyleneglycol functionalized gold (mean core diameter 4.74 ± 0.73 nm).

5 nm and 3 nm functionalized gold nanoparticles are available with a range of solubility properties: hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and amphiphilic.

These nanoparticles are coated and stabilized using different thiol ligands capped by chemical groups which provide a variety of solubilities, and these gold nanomaterials are therefore suitable for a wide range of applications in different systems and environments.

The octane- and dodecanethiol functionalized gold nanoparticles have great solubility in organic solvent such as toluene, while the hydrophilic (1-mercaptoundec-11-yl) tetraethyleneglycol functionalized gold nanoparticles dissolve in water and alcohols. The 1-mercapto-(triethyleneglycol) methyl ester functionalized gold nanoparticles are amphiphilic, dissolving in a wide variety of solvents including toluene, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone, water and alcohols.
