Coordination chemistry approach for the end-to-end assembly of gold nanorods.
Gold nanorods synthesized by radiolysis were selectively end-functionalized by a fully conjugated thiol bearing a pendant terpyridine group; addition of ferrous ions led to the end-to-end 1D self-assembly of the nanorods. Similar results have been obtained when the preformed [(HStpy)Fe(tpySH)](2+) dithiol complex was directly added to the gold nanorods.
