Description
Summary:The preparation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from tetrachloroauric acid in the presence of tetrahydrothiophenocucurbit[ ]uril (THT Q[ ]) has been effectively achieved in a microwave reactor. The reaction was performed in the presence of an excess of the tetrahydrothiopheno function in a partial reductant role, while the remainder formed AuNP-THT Q[ ] conjugates after the reduction was completed with formic acid. An affinity for the AuNPs by the THT Q[ ] was observed in the purification of the NPs via centrifugation, removal of the supernatant and resuspension of the conjugate.
