Abstract

Tetradentate thioacetyl porphyrin ligand (1) was synthesized to protect gold nanoparticles. 1-protected gold nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy and XPS. Analysis by XPS showed that all of four thioacetyl groups of 1 were dissociated and bound to the surface of gold nanoparticles in thiolate form. The size of 1-protected gold nanoparticles (GN:1) was controlled by thioacetyl group/HAuCl4 molar ratio and approached to 2 nm. Compared with a protecting ligand without porphyrin plane (2) or dodecanethiol, 1 can control the size of gold nanoparticles efficiently probably due to the tetradentate ligation effect.
