Two Au(III) dithiolate complexes, [Au(dbbpy)(tdt)]PF(6) and Au(eta(2)-C,N-ppy)(tdt), (dbbpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine; tdt = 3,4-toluenedithiolate; ppy = C-deprotonated 2-phenylpyridine), have been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The complexes have low-energy absorption bands that exhibit mild solvatochromism (lambda(max) = 444 nm

Fluorescent insulin fibrils gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) have been synthesized through the reduction of gold by human insulin in fibrillated form. Likewise, nanocluster formation has been regulated by insulin, working as a protein-based template. Environment- and surface-controlled experiments have shown

In this report, we demonstrate a rapid and simple seeded growth method for synthesizing monodisperse, quasi-spherical, citrate-stabilized Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) via H(2)O(2) reduction of HAuCl(4). Au NPs with diameter ranging from 30 to 230 nm can be synthesized by

Soluble gold precatalysts, aimed for homogeneous catalysis, under certain conditions may form nanoparticles, which dramatically change the mechanism and initiate different chemistry. The present study addresses the question of designing gold catalysts, taking into account possible interconversions and contamination at

In this paper, a pH-inductive protein-scaffold biosynthesis of shape-tunable crystalline gold nanoparticles at room temperature has been developed. By simple manipulation of the reaction solution's pH, anisotropic gold nanoparticles including spheres, triangles and cubes could be produced by incubating an
