Fractal-like Self-Assembly of Oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) Capped Gold Nanoparticles
Authors
Abstract
Reversible interparticle self-organization is reported for gold nanoparticles functionalized with an oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) moiety in butanol. The aggregates show a clear melting temperature at 80 degrees C, and atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy indicate a fractal-like organization of the particles.
