One-pot synthesis of sub-3 nm gold nanoparticle networks connected by thio-based multidentate fullerene adducts†
Abstract
A new organo-soluble [60]fullerene hexaadduct bearing twelve thiocyanate functions has been synthesized and successfully used as a stabilizing/assembling agent to assemble homogeneous sub-3 nm gold nanoparticles into extended tridimensional networks.
