Synthesis and spectroscopic observation of dendrimer-encapsulated gold nanoclusters

Chem Commun (Camb). 2006 Jun 14:(22):2400-1. doi: 10.1039/b602079h. Epub 2006 May 3.

Abstract

We report on the observation of the excitation/emission spectrum of a dendrimer-encapsulated gold nanocluster; the synthesis of Au-PAMAM was based on reduction of HAuCl4 x 3 H2O co-dissolved in methanol together with fourth-generation OH-terminated PAMAM.
