Self-assembly of gold nanoparticles to carbon nanotubes using a thiol-terminated pyrene as interlinker
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gold nanoparticles were self-assembled onto the surface of solubilized carbon nanotubes through an interlinker of bi-functionalized molecule (PHT) terminated with pyrenyl unit at one end and thiol group at the other end. While the fluorescence of PHT is quenched moderately by the carbon nanotubes, the fluorescence is almost totally quenched by the further binding of gold nanoparticles. The enhancement of the Raman responses of nanotubes by the gold nanoparticles is also observed. These results imply there are charge transfer interactions between nanotubes and gold nanoparticles. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
