Gold nanoparticles have found a wide range of application in biomedical sciences. Unique properties of these metal nanoparticles include surface plasmon resonance and size dependent colour change. Various molecules have been functionalized on the gold nanoparticles surface but carbohydrates have garnered attention due to their properties and their role in living systems. However certain challenges make carbohydrate-gold nanoparticles association difficult to obtain and stabilize. This study was carried out to chemically remodel gold nanoparticles by adding a monosaccharide mannose to its surface. A modified phase transfer method was used to synthesize gold nanoparticles. The surface of the nanoparticles was fixed with cyanuric chloride to serve as a linker. Mannose was then linked to the linker molecule. All three stages of the process, gold nanoparticles, and gold nanoparticles with linker and gold nanoparticles with the carbohydrate were analyzed for size and stability. Zeta potential and UV-vis data exhibited stable gold nanoparticles dispersion, successful binding of linker molecule as well as the carbohydrate. This study shows a simple, cost-effective and robust method of glycomodification of gold nanoparticles surface which can further find use in wide ranging applications.

ABSTRACTBio-conjugated nanomaterials play a promising role in the development of novelsupramolecular structures, molecular machines, and biosensing devices. In this study, lipid-capped gold nanoparticles were synthesized and allowed to form a self-assembled monolayer structure. The nanoparticles were prepared by a phase transfer method, which involved the reduction of potassium tetrachloroaurate(III) by sodium citrate in an aqueous solution and the simultaneous transfer of the reduced species to an organic medium containing DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine). The gold nanoparticles were characterized using Uv-vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) particle-size analysis. In addition, the resulting nanoparticles were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique was used to assemble the DMPC-capped nanoparticles onto a water subphase at room temperature. The measurement of the compression isotherm confirmed the assemblage of lipid capped gold nanoparticles. This method of synthesis of ordered structures utilizing molecular interactions of lipids will be useful in developing novel metamaterials and nanocircuits.

AbstractThiol-coated gold nanoparticles with a diameter of approximately 7.5 nanometers and a narrow particle distribution were prepared from sodium tetrachloroaurate under phase transfer conditions. The thiols used were 1-mercaptododecane (1) and 1-mercapto-9,11-heptadecadiyne (4). The particles were cast onto thin films of polyaniline and poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), as well as onto thiol-coated versions of the same polymer. Surface modification of the polymers with long chain thiols encourages the spontaneous self-assembly of the particles into twodimensional arrays and may offer a unique method for stabilization of nanoparticle assemblies on polymer substrates.

Citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles were found to spontaneously self-assemble into a lustrous film at a bare water–propylene carbonate interface after vigorous shaking, due to the extremely low interfacial tension. The presence of the electron donor, tetrathiafulvalene, in the oil phase, led to the extraction of particles into the organic phase.
