Kv. Sarathy et al., A NOVEL METHOD OF PREPARING THIOL-DERIVATIZED NANOPARTICLES OF GOLD, PLATINUM AND SILVER FORMING SUPERSTRUCTURES, Chemical communications, (6), 1997, pp. 537-538
Thiol-derivatised nanoparticles of Au, Pt and Ag (diameter 1-10 nm) fo
rming superstructures, are prepared by the acid-facilitated transfer o
f well characterized particles in a hydrosol to a toluene layer contai
ning the thiol.
