More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Organo-soluble porphyrin mixed monolayer-protected gold nanorods were synthesized and characterized. The resulting gold nanorods encapsulated by both porphyrin thiol and alkyl thiol on their entire surface with strong covalent Au-S linkages were very stable in organic solvents without aggregation or decomposition, and exhibited unique optical properties different from their corresponding spherical ones. Alkyl thiol acts as a stabilizer not only to fill up the potential space on gold nanorod surface between bulky porphyrin molecules, but also to provide space for further insertion of C60 molecules forming a stable C60-porphyrin-gold nanorod hybrid nanostructure
