Description

Article demonstrating the dynamic potential for tailoring the surface plasmon resonance (SPR), size, and shapes of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) starting from an Au(I) precursor, chloro(dimethyl sulfide)gold (I) (Au(Me2S)Cl), in lieu of the conventional Au(III) precursor hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III) hydrate (HAuCl4). This approach presents a one-step method that permits regulation of an Au(I) precursor to form either visible-absorbing gold nanospheres or near-infrared-window (NIRW)-absorbing anisotropic AuNPs.

Notes

Abstract: This work demonstrates the dynamic potential for tailoring the surface plasmon resonance (SPR), size, and shapes of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) starting from an Au(I) precursor, chloro(dimethyl sulfide)gold (I) (Au(Me2S)Cl), in lieu of the conventional Au(III) precursor hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III) hydrate (HAuCl4). Our approach presents a one-step method that permits regulation of an Au(I) precursor to form either visible-absorbing gold nanospheres or near-infrared-window (NIRW)-absorbing anisotropic AuNPs. A collection of shapes is obtained for the NIR-absorbing AuNPs herein, giving rise to spontaneously formed nanomosaic (NIR-absorbing anisotropic gold nanomosaic, NIRAuNM) without a dominant geometry for the tesserae elements that comprise the mosaic. Nonetheless, NIRAuNM exhibited high stability; one test sample remains stable with the same SPR absorption profile 7 years post-synthesis thus far. These NIRAuNM are generated within thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) microgels, without the addition of any growth-assisting surfactants or reducing agents. Our directed-selection methodology is based on the photochemical reduction of a light-, heat-, and water-sensitive Au(I) precursor via a disproportionation mechanism. The NIRAuNM stabilized within the thermoresponsive microgels demonstrates a light-activated size decrease of the microgels. On irradiation with a NIR lamp source, the percent decrease in the size of the microgels loaded with NIRAuNM is at least five times greater compared to the control microgels. The concept of photothermal shrinkage of hybrid microgels is further demonstrated by the release of a model luminescent dye, as a drug release model. The absorbance and emission of the model dye released from the hybrid microgels are over an order of magnitude higher compared to the absorbance and emission of the dye released from the unloaded-control microgels.
