Abstract
In this paper, the synthesis of gold at gold(I)-thiolate core at shell nanoparticles is described for the first time. The chemical nature and structure of these nanoparticles were characterized by a multi-technique approach. The prepared particles consist of gold metallic cores, about 1 nm in size, surrounded by stable gold(I)-thiomalate shells (Au at Au(I)-TM). These nanoparticles could be useful in medicine due to the interesting properties that gold(I)-thiomalate has against rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, the described results give new insights in the synthesis and characterization of metallic and core at shell nanoparticles.
