Functionalized, dendrimer-stabilized gold nanoparticles (Au DSNPs) are of scientific and technological interest for biological applications. In this work, we show that acetamide-functionalized Au DSNPs can be formed by acetylation of amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of generation 5 (G5.NH(2)) complexed with Au(III) ions (AuCl(4) (-)). In addition, hydroxyl-functionalized Au DSNPs can be formed by simply mixing the glycidol hydroxyl-terminated G5 dendrimers (G5.NGlyOH) with HA ...[more]
