Two Au(III) dithiolate complexes, [Au(dbbpy)(tdt)]PF(6) and Au(eta(2)-C,N-ppy)(tdt), (dbbpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine; tdt = 3,4-toluenedithiolate; ppy = C-deprotonated 2-phenylpyridine), have been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The complexes have low-energy absorption bands that exhibit mild solvatochromism (lambda(max) = 444 nm

Graphene decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-β-CD-Gra) has been synthesized by in situ thermal reduction of graphene oxide and HAuCl(4) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) under alkaline condition. The AuNPs-β-CD-Gra product was well characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy

In this paper, we describe a simple one-pot method, employing l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) as a reducing/capping reagent, for the synthesis of fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs). Within a short reaction time of 15 min (excluding the time required for purification), this strategy

Polydopamine (PDA)-Au Janus particles were obtained by simply adding HAuCl(4) to a PDA particle suspension, prepared via self-polymerization of dopamine in basic solution at room temperature. The structures of the PDA-Au particles are readily controlled by electrostatic repulsion between the
