Abstract
|
Novel gold/poly-(1,3-divinyl-imidazolid-2-one)/silica [poly-bisvinylethyleneurea (poly-BVU)/silica)] hybrid particles have been produced by adsorption and spontaneously occurring <i>in situ</i> reduction of Au<sup>3+</sup> cations on the surface of poly-BVU/silica hybrid particles. The successful functionalization of the poly-BVU/silica particles with gold nanoclusters has been evidenced by UV/vis and XPS spectroscopy as well as scanning electron microscopy. The size of the resulting gold clusters, estimated by means of the Mie–Drude theory on the full peak width at half-maximum of the surface plasmon UV/vis absorbance, correlates with the polymer content of the poly-BVU/silica hybrid particles used for the modification. Therefore, it is possible to control the size of the gold clusters simply by adjusting the monomer/silica ratio in the polymerization process, which corresponds with the polymer content of the hybrids.
