Abstract

The preferred deposition of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) onto microcrystal faces of alpha-cyclodextin/octanethiol inclusion compound was obtained. The immobilization of Au NPs is caused by the spatial replacing of the citrate shell of the NPs by the free dangling SH groups of the guest molecule.
