The preparation and properties of tert-dodecanethiol protected gold nanoparticles amenable to very rapid surface functionalization by associative mechanism is described. The new material can be easily prepared by controlling the reaction time, because only a limited but enough number of tert-dodecanethiol to stabilize the gold clusters is bond to the surface until about an hour. Accordingly, it can be isolated as a solid and handled much like the highly stabilized Brust-Schiffrin analogues, but reacted very rapidly with any molecular species containing one or multiple functional groups such as thiol, disulfide, pyridine, etc., These characteristics are ideal for the preparation of a variety of new organic–inorganic hybrid nanomaterials by coordinative self-assembly. This possibility was illustrated using meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin, which promptly bonded to the reactive protected gold nanoparticles generating a solid that can be grown as thin films with layer-by-layer control on a suitably modified surface.

Atomic-level gold clusters are decorated on a polyaniline (PANI) support by a cyclic atomic electrodeposition process, and the catalytic activity in the oxidation of glucose is studied. The evaluation is conducted by cyclic voltammetry using atomic-level gold clusters-decorated PANI (PANI/AuN, where N indicates the atomic size of the Au cluster and N = 1~3 in this study) as the working electrode and a solution containing 0 to 50.0 mM of glucose in phosphate-buffered saline. The catalytic activity is determined from the oxidation current observed at around +0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The catalytic activity is found to be affected by the size of gold clusters decorated on the PANI/AuN, whereby the catalytic activity is low when N is 1 or 3. On the other hand, an obvious enhancement in the catalytic activity is observed for the PANI/Au2 electrode.
