Abstract

Gold nanoparticles functionalized with a triarylcarbinol derivative have been used as colorimetric molecular probes for the naked-eye detection of the nerve agent simulants DCNP and DFP. The detection process is based on the compensation of charges at the surface of the nanoparticles which triggers their aggregation in solution with the resulting change in their plasmon band.
