The preparation and characterization of gold nanoparticles (approximately 3 nm in diameter) capped with thiolated alpha- and beta-cyclodextrins (alpha and beta-CD) is described. The CD-capped nanoparticles are hydrophilic and bind ferrocene derivatives as evidenced by electrochemical and (1)H NMR spectroscopic measurements. The binding interactions of the CD-capped nanoparticles with a series of five alkyldimethyl(ferrocenylmethyl)ammonium ions (the alkyl group is propyl for compound 1, heptyl for 2, dodecyl for 3, hexadecyl for 4, and docosyl for 5) can be utilized for the phase transfer of the hydrophilic, CD-capped nanoparticles into a nonpolar chloroform phase. Only 3, 4, and 5 act as effective phase transfer agents, since 1 and 2 do not have enough amphiphilic character. The structure of the aggregates formed upon transfer of the CD-capped nanoparticles to the chloroform solution is postulated to resemble that of reverse micelles, as the nanoparticles template the peripheral arrangement of the cationic ferrocene amphiphiles, counterions and water molecules around their surfaces.
