Abstract
Fluorocarbon-stabilized gold nanoparticles were prepared for the first time by reduction of AuCl4- in the presence of fluorinated alkane thiols as sta bilizers. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the formation of unifor m gold nanoparticles. These fluoro-nanoparticles are soluble only in fluoro carbon media, and casting of these dispersions provided highly ordered, hex agonally packed monolayers on solid substrates.
