Abstract
This letter describes a general method for the preparation of carbohydrate coated gold nanoparticles. The generality of this method has been demonstrated by surface coating AuNPs with the following sugars: glucose (monosaccharide); sucrose, maltose, or lactose (disaccharides); raffinose (trisaccharide); and starch (polysaccharide). The non-toxic, water-soluble phosphino aminoacid P(CH(2)NHCH(CH(3)-)COOH)(3), THPAL, has been used as a reducing agent in this process. The sizes of sugar coated AuNPs that have been generated in this study are: 30 ± 8 nm (Glucose), 10 ± 6 nm (sucrose), 8 ± 2 nm (maltose), 3 ± 1 nm (lactose), 6 ± 2 nm (raffinose), and 39 ± 9 nm (starch).
