Abstract
Carboxylatopillar[5]arene (CP[5]A), a new water-soluble macrocyclic synthetic receptor, has been employed as a stabilizing ligand for in situ preparation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to gain new insights into supramolecular host-AuNP interactions. CP[5]A-modified AuNPs with good dispersion and narrow size distributions (3.1 ± 0.5 nm) were successfully produced in aqueous solution, suggesting a green synthetic pathway for the application of AuNPs in biological systems. Supramolecular self-assembly of CP[5]A-modified AuNPs mediated by suitable guest molecules was also investigated, indicating that the new hybrid material is useful for sensing and detection of the herbicide paraquat.Entities:
