| Research Abstract |
A new porphyrin-based passivant was synthesized which has two disulfide bonds in the same direction. Small gold nanoclusters were easily obtained when gold(III) ion was reduced in the presence of the passivants. Resulting gold nanoclusters exhibited an intense fluorescence due to the porphyrin molecules. Gold nanoparticles prepared with manganese-inserted porphyrin passivants accelerated the relaxation of water protons, indicating that the nanoparticles could be used as a MRI contrast agent.
