Synthesis of Hydroxylatopillar[6]arene-Controlled Gold Nanoparticles-Cellulose Nanocrystals and Their Applications.

In this work, two macrocyclic hosts, named hydroxylatopillar[6]arene and dihydroxylatopillar[6]arene (HP6, 2HP6) are proposed. We found that the reduction of Au3+ to Au0 can success happen by using...
