Silver nanoparticles modified by water-soluble leaning tower[6]arenes for sensing and catalysis†
Abstract
A carboxylated leaning tower[6]arene sodium salt is used as an efficient stabiliser for the one-pot synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The resulting hybrid material with good dispersion, excellent stability and narrow size distribution could serve as a multifunctional platform for sensing and catalysis applications.
