Figure 10: Transmission electron microscopy of AuNPs.

AuNPs stabilized by reaction of NaBH4 with a mixture of HAuCl4 and dendron 1 [PF6]2 (a and b), 6A [PF6]54 (c and d) or 6B [PF6]54 (e and f) under identical conditions giving back the neutral dendrimers. Scale bars; a and c, 100nm: a (inset) and c (inset), 20 nm; e, 50 nm..
