UV Luminescence of Dendrimer-encapsulated Gold Nanoclusters.

The article discusses a study which reported the photoluminescence of gold nanoclusters encapsulated in hydroxyl-terminated fourth generation polyamidoamine dendrimers (G4-OH). Topics include an investigation of the possible existence of different types of gold nanoclusters in G4-OH(Au), a description of the ultraviolet (UV) emission intensity of the dendrimer, and details of the preparation and optical measurements.
