title: One-phase synthesis of small gold nanoparticles coated by a horizontal porphyrin monolayer.
abstract: One-pot reduction of HAuCl4 in a DMF solution containing a porphyrin-cored tetradentate passivant gives horizontal porphyrin monolayer-coated gold nanoparticles, whose particle size is significantly smaller than that made by using monodentate passivants under identical conditions.
