The synthesis of gold nanoparticles has been carried out in aqueous phase in the presence of both ionic surfactants (i.e., sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)) and poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (PAMAM). It has been observed that the fluoroderivative of 2G PAMAM (2D) acts as reducing agent in reducing Au(lll) to Au(0) leading to the formation of fine gold nanoparticles. This process has been further evaluated in the presence of fixed amounts of both SDS and DTAB in their respective pre and post micellar concentration regions. The presence of SDS leads to the appearance of clear ordered morphologies such as triangular, hexagonal, spherical, and rod shaped, while the presence of DTAB does not show this effect. The formation of nanoparticles in triangular morphologies is more significant in the premicellar concentration range of SDS whereas hexagonal morphologies in the post micellar concentration range. On the contrary, increase in the DTAB concentration from pre to post micellar range only reduces the size of gold nanoparticles without the appearance of any ordered morphology. The formation of ordered gold nanoparticles in the presence of SDS has been further attributed to the significant SDS-dendrimer interactions and an appropriate mechanism has been proposed to justify the results.
