DESCRIPTION:Prof. Lucia Pasquato\, University of Trieste\, Italy\nThe deve
 lopment of fluorinated gold nanoparticles is presently arising and increas
 ing attention across several fields of nanotechnology. The synthetic appro
 aches evolved over time from the use of almost perfluorinated alkanethiols
  and perfluorinated arylthiols to amphiphilic fluorinated thiols capable o
 f ensuring solubility in conventional organic solvents and water.\nThe int
 erest in these systems stems from the unique properties of both nanosized 
 and fluorous compounds. In perspective\, the development of our understand
 ing of the fluorophilic interactions at the nanoscale will allow to devise
  novel strategies for self-assembly\, molecular recognition and new materi
 als for biomedical applications.\nIn this paper we present\, through selec
 ted examples\, the potential of fluorous ligands in the synthesis of gold 
 nanoparticles and the relevance of mastering the properties of these syste
 ms in the development of new materials.\nA seminar organised by the Supram
 olecular Nano-Materials and Interfaces Laboratory (SuNMIL).
