Mono- and bi-functional arenethiols as surfactants for gold nanoparticles: synthesis and characterization

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Stable gold nanoparticles stabilized by different mono and bi-functional arenethiols, namely, benzylthiol and 1,4-benzenedimethanethiol, have been prepared by using a modified Brust's two-phase synthesis. The size, shape, and crystalline structure of the gol...
