This paper reports a novel electrochemical route for anchoring monolayer protected gold nanoclusters (size 8 +/- 0.2 nm) on single-walled carbon nanotube bundles, resulting in the formation of hybrid materials. Monolayer protected gold nanoclusters prepared by modified Brust synthesis route were organized on SWNT bundles by cycling the potential in dichloromethane between -1 to +1 V at a scan rate of 50 mV/s.

A photoswitchable double-shell structure on Au nanoparticles, consisting of photochromic spiropyran as the first shell, which regulates the assembly and release of an outer shell of amino acid derivatives upon irradiation, is being reported for the first time. The light-regulated changes in the topographic properties of spiropyran-capped Au nanoparticles (i.e.
