Virus templated metallic nanoparticles.

Plant viruses are considered as nanobuilding blocks that can be used as synthons or templates for novel materials. Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) particles have been shown to template the fabrication of metallic nanoparticles by an electroless deposition metallization process. Palladium ions were electrostatically bound to the virus capsid and, when reduced, acted as nucleation sites for the subseq...

Chemically-coupled-peptide-promoted virus nanoparticle templated mineralization.

The external surface of the plant virus Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) can be chemically modified with peptides that direct specific mineralization processes. Subsequent mineralization of the peptide-CPMV conjugates produces monodisperse nanoparticles of ca. 32 nm diameter coated with, for example, cobalt-platinum, iron-platinum or zinc sulfide, which cannot be readily prepared by other methods. Th...

Polyelectrolyte-modified cowpea mosaic virus for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles.

Polyelectrolyte surface-modified cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) can be used for the templated synthesis of narrowly dispersed gold nanoparticles. Cationic polyelectrolyte, poly(allylamine) hydrochloride, is electrostatically bound to the external surface of the virus capsid. The polyelectrolyte-coated CPMV promotes adsorption of aqueous gold hydroxide anionic species, prepared from gold(III) chlori...

Monodisperse FePt nanoparticles and ferromagnetic FePt nanocrystal superlattices

Synthesis of monodisperse iron-platinum (FePt) nanoparticles by reduction of platinum acetylacetonate and decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl in the presence of oleic acid and oleyl amine stabilizers is reported. The FePt particle composition is readily controlled, and the size is tunable from 3- to 10-nanometer diameter with a standard deviation of less than 5%. These nanoparticles self-assemb...

Synthesis of noble metal nanoparticles and their non-ordered superstructures.

This article highlights our recent work concerning the synthesis of metal nanoparticles and their non-ordered superstructures. After a short introduction, the basic synthetic procedures are explained for the nanoparticles used for the assemblies. Furthermore, a fabrication method is itemized for very monodisperse platinum nanoparticles in aqueous solution ranging in diameter from 10 to 100 nm s...
