Self-assembly of colloidal gold nanoparticles employing π–π interactions in solution is studied. It is shown that capping ligand exchange with aromatic thiols results in formation of 3D single crystalline superlattices with long-range ordering.

Colloidal gold nanoparticles have been successfully prepared using a simple two-electrode cells connected to a DC power supply. During the electro-dissolution-reduction process, the bulk gold at the anode oxidized into gold cations which then reacted with the chloride ions to form aurochloride complex. The complex ions were then reduced by the citrate ion to form colloidal gold nanoparticles. The size and shape of the nanoparticles were modulated by varying the terminal voltages. The colloidal gold nanoparticles obtained were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis). From FESEM analysis, it was found that by increasing the voltage, the size of colloidal gold nanoparticles produced marginally decreased. The mean sizes of gold nanoparticles were roughly about 23.5 nm, 23.2 nm and 19.3 nm for 32 V, 36 V and 40 V, respectively. TEM micrograph showed that the shape of gold nanoparticles obtained is almost spherical. The characteristic peaks of UV-Vis spectra revealed that the suspension was indeed colloidal gold nanoparticles. Keywords: Gold, Nanoparticles, Electro-dissolution-reduction

Abstract Research on the activity of nanoenzymes has always been a focus of nanomaterials. In this study, several reducing agents with different structures were used to prepare colloidal gold with a negative charge and similar size by controlling the temperature and pH. The affinity analysis of the substrate H 2 O 2 and TMB showed that the activity of colloidal gold nanoenzymes prepared by different reducing agents was in the order of Cc, Hq, Rs, Vc, Ga, Sc, Sm, St. The rule is that the enzyme activity of colloidal gold reduced by benzene ring is higher than that of colloidal gold enzyme reduced by linear chain. Finally, we discussed the activity of colloidal gold peroxidase from the number and position of isomers and functional groups, and demonstrated that the nanoenzyme activity affected the surface activity of colloidal gold, the elimination of hydroxyl radical and TMB binding efficiency.
