Y. Guari et al., In situ formation of gold nanoparticles within functionalised ordered mesoporous silica via an organometallic 'chimie douce' approach, CHEM COMMUN, (15), 2001, pp. 1374-1375
Functionalized SBA-15 type materials containing mercaptopropyl groups have
been used for controlling the growth of gold(0) nanoparticles from HAuCl4 o
r AuCl(THT) which were chemically complexed within the channels prior to mi
ld chemical reduction.
