Abstract

This paper described the stable gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) onto microcrystal faces of ?tcyclodextrin /octanethiol (?CD/OT) inclusion compound (IC) by means of magnetron sputtering technique was obtained. Comparison of the 13C Cross Polarization Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C CP-MAS NMR) spectra for pure IC with those for IC interacting with AuNPs evidenced different orientation of the guest into the channels of the matrix of ?CD, Diffuse Reflections Spectroscopy for the sputtered gold nanospheres on the surface of ?CD/OT showed the characteristic surface plasmon resonance. Transmission Electronic Microscopy (TEM) demonstrates that this technique produces AuNPs in a size range about 2-6 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) show the selective adhesion of AuNPs onto IC.
