Spectrophotometric Determination of 4-Hydroxy-2-mercapto-6-methylpyrimidine Based on Aggregation of Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles
We report herein the development of a highly sensitive colorimetric method for the detection of 4-hydroxy-2-mercapto-6-methylpyrimidine (MTU) which acts as an anti-thyroid drug utilizing citrate capped gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs). This thiol-containing molecule exhibits intriguing affinity with Au-NPs. The reactivity involves the displacement of the citrate shell by the thiolate shell followed ...
متن کاملPhotoisomerisation and ligand-controlled reversible aggregation of azobenzene-functionalised gold nanoparticles.
The photochemical behaviour of functionalised gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) carrying azobenzenethiolate-alkylthiolate monolayers was investigated. Repeated trans-cis and cis-trans isomerisation cycles could be performed in all cases with high efficiency. Reversible photoinduced aggregation was observed when azothiolates with long alkyl spacers (≥C7) were combined with short (C5) alkylthiolate coli...
متن کاملSelective C70 encapsulation by a robust octameric nanospheroid held together by 48 cooperative hydrogen bonds
Self-assembly of multiple building blocks via hydrogen bonds into well-defined nanoconstructs with selective binding function remains one of the foremost challenges in supramolecular chemistry. Here, we report the discovery of a enantiopure nanocapsule that is formed through the self-assembly of eight amino acid functionalised molecules in nonpolar solvents through 48 hydrogen bonds. The nanoca...
متن کاملA colorimetric aptasensor for selective detection of oxytetracycline in milk, using gold nanoparticles and oxytetracline-short aptamer
Objective (s): In light of misuse of antibiotics in animal husbandry and their side effects on human health, there is an argent need to develop simple and rapid methods for determining the quantification of antibiotics in biological systems. Materials and Methods: In this work a facile and ultrasensitive colorimetric aptasensor was reported for detection of oxytetracycline (OTC) in water and mi...
متن کاملSoft route for monodisperse gold nanoparticles confined within SH-functionalized walls of mesoporous silica†
In this paper, we report a soft route leading to small gold nanoparticles confined within the framework of 2D-hexagonal mesoporous SH-functionalised silicas. For that purpose, a hydrophilic bis-silylated precursor containing a disulfide unit was prepared. Framework-functionalised materials were obtained in one step by the ‘‘direct synthesis’’ method which consists of a co-hydrolysis and polycon...
