Multivalent recognition of bis- and tris-Zn-porphyrins by N-methylimidazole functionalized gold nanoparticles.
N-Methylimidazole-functionalized gold nanoparticles behave as multivalent ligands for porphyrin arrays with an increase in binding strength of up to three order of magnitude with respect to a monovalent system.
