Water-soluble gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared using 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5- thiazoleacetic acid (MMTA) as a stabilizing agent and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent. The AuNPs product was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The TEM image shows that the particles were well-dispersed and their average particle size is about 5 nm. The UV-vis absorption and FTIR spectra confirm that the MMTA-AuNPs was stabilized by the carboxylate ions present on the surface of the AuNPs.

Samples of nanoscale nano-PAF-10 and nano-PAF-24 porous aromatic framework-like polymeric materials were synthesized using the Suzuki reaction in a microemulsion. Monomers were tetrakis-(p-bromophenyl)methane and 1,4-phenylenediboronic acid. The main idea of the approach is to use 1,4-phenylenediboronic acid not only as a direct participant in the reaction, but also as a surfactant, which allows to stabilize the drops of the emulsion. Using this procedure, samples of PAF-like polymers were synthesized from the mixture, containing the mixture of tetrakis(p-bromophenyl)methane and 1,4-phenylenediboronic acid in ratio from 1:2 to 1:6; the reaction was conducted from 10 to 24 hours. The resulting materials were characterized by IR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscop. To estimate the particle size of the obtained materials, transmission electron microscopy was used. The object of the study were polymers, that were synthesized in 10-hour and 24-hour reactions. The particle size in the first material was in the range of 3-10 nm, in the second - from 30 to 100 nm.
