5 nm and 3 nm functionalized gold nanoparticles, in the solubility of your choice:

• hydrophilic

• hydrophobic

• amphiphilic

These nanoparticles are coated and stabilized using different thiol ligands capped by chemical groups which provide a variety of solubilities, and these gold nanomaterials are therefore suitable for a wide range of applications in different systems and environments.

The octane- and dodecanethiol functionalized gold nanoparticles have great solubility in organic solvent such as toluene, while the hydrophilic (1-mercaptoundec-11-yl) tetraethyleneglycol functionalized gold nanoparticles dissolve in water and alcohols. The 1-mercapto-(triethyleneglycol) methyl ester functionalized gold nanoparticles are amphiphilic, dissolving in a wide variety of solvents including toluene, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone, water and alcohols.
