Fabrication of highly stable platinum organosols over DNA-scaffolds for enriched catalytic and SERS applications.

The use of nanomaterials (NMs) in various applications via multidisciplinary approaches is highly necessary in this era. In this line, the impact of noble metals in organic media for both catalysis and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) studies is most interesting and also has a wider scope in various fields. Nonetheless, the catalytic reduction of aromatic nitro compounds is difficult with poor solubility in aqueous media, and reduction also is less feasible in the absence of noble metal-based catalysts.
