Description
Résumé:A C60-pyrrolidine derivative with a hydrophobic-hydrophilic-hydrophobic structure (2-{3,4-di{2-[2-(2-decyloxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy}}phenyl-3,4-fulleropyrrolidine, DTPF) has been synthesized and well-characterized. This compound could form stable nanospheres by simply injectingits tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution into water and then removing THF by purging gaseous nitrogen in sequence. Novel nanoassemblies of DTPF nanospheres and gold nanoparticles were obtained through in situ photoreduction of aqueous HAuCl4 in the presence of DTPF nanospheres, which were confirmed by UV-visible, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy methods. It is proposed that the interaction between the positively charged nitrogen atom and the gold nanoparticles is the main driving force for the formation of the nanoassemblies
