Triphenylphosphine-cappped, 1.5-nm gold nanoparticles "Au(101)(PPh(3))(21)Cl(5)" prepared following Hutchison's procedure (Weare, W. W.; Reed, S. M.; Warner, M. G.; Hutchison, J. E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 12890) undergo rapid exchange of capping ligand phosphine with dissociated and added phosphine in dichloromethane solvent at 298 K. Remarkably, while the (1)H NMR spectrum resonances of the attached phosphine are broad, characteristic of a range of incompletely averaged environments, the (31)P NMR spectrum (observable only at 213 K and below) exhibits a single, narrow resonance indicating that all of the phosphorus atoms are magnetically equivalent.

Self-assembled gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) possess distinctive properties that are highly desirable in diverse nanotechnological applications. This study meticulously explores the size-dependent behavior of Au-NPs under an electric field, specifically focusing on sizes ranging from 5 to 40 nm, and their subsequent assembly into 2D monolayers on an n-type silicon substrate. The primary objective is to refine the assembly process and augment the functional characteristics of the resultant nanostructures.

Apart from HER2-positive, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the second most highly invasive type of breast cancer. Although TNBC does not overexpress HER2 receptors, it has been observed that EGFR protein expression is present in this specific type of tumor, making it an attractive target for immune and radiopharmaceutical treatments. In our current study, we used Pd (T = 13.

The present study introduces a minimalistic and cost-effective approach to synthesising Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using aqueous leaf extracts of Andrographis paniculata. In this synthesis, bioactive metabolites in the leaf extract act as reducing agents, converting Au³⁺ ions to metallic Au⁰, while proteins in the extract form a stabilising layer around the nanoparticles to prevent agglomeration and maintain particle size stability. The synthesised AuNPs were systematically characterised using a range of analytical techniques.

Plasmonic lasers have traditionally been built on flat metal substrates. Here, we introduce substrate-free plasmonic lasers created by coating semiconductor particles with an optically thin layer of noble metal. This architecture supports plasmonic "hinge" modes highly localized along the particle's edges and corners, exhibiting Purcell factors exceeding 100 and Q-factors of 15-20 near the plasmon resonance frequency.

Extensive investigations are being conducted on gold nanoparticles focusing on their applications in biosensors, laser phototherapy, targeted drug delivery and bioimaging utilizing advanced detection techniques. In this work, an electrochemical sensor was developed based on graphite carbon nitride supported gold nanoparticles. Carbon nitride supported gold nanoparticles (Au-CN) was synthesized by applying a deposition-precipitation route followed by a chemical reduction technique.
