A significant problem in the burgeoning transition-metal nanocluster literature is the myriad
of proposed, putative stabilizers. A main objective of the present contribution is to provide a …

Contributions featuring the chemistry and applications of a family of macrocyclic compounds
collectively known as' calixarenes' are presented in this edited volume. The arsenal of …

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with supramolecular macrocycles are versatile
and diverse hybrid nanomaterials, which combine and enhance the characteristics of the …

Water-soluble gold nanoparticles bearing diverse l-amino acid terminals have been
fabricated to probe the effect of receptor surface on protein surface binding. The interaction …

Gold nanoparticles were produced by femtosecond laser ablation of a gold metal plate in an
aqueous solution of α-cyclodextrin (CD), β-CD, or γ-CD. The gold nanoparticles exhibited …

The synthesis of nanostructured materials with tunable properties is central to developments
in nanoscale science and technology. Nonlithographic approaches based on …

Efficient binding of biomacromolecular surfaces by synthetic systems requires the effective
presentation of complementary elements over large surface areas. We demonstrate here the …

We report and discuss how gold nanoparticles were synthesized by the reduction of
hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III) trihydrate by sodium citrate in the presence of unmodified α …

Hexadecanethiol (n-C16), 2, 2-dimethylhexadecane-1-thiol (DMC16), and the multidentate
thiol-based ligands 2-tetradecylpropane-1, 3-dithiol (C16C2), 2-methyl-2-tetradecylpropane …

Calixarenes are excellent surfactants for enhancing the dispersion and self-assembly of
metal nanoparticles into well-defined structures, particularly those with unit length scales in …
