Functionalised metal nanoparticles as novel reagents for biomedical analysis

This thesis describes a study of the synthesis and characterisation of a new family of cationic alkane-thiolate and -selenolate compounds bearing a phosphonium (or phosphine oxide) head group, and the applications as ligands for the stabilisation of gold nanoparticles. The ability of these cationic...
