Abstract

Abstract The study of the interaction between poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) in a colloid is of special interest for possible applications in the field of catalysis, biosensing, and biomedicine. A strong optical absorption arising from Au NPs at 532 nm in Au-PVP colloids is ascribed to surface plasmon resonance. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic results confirm reduction of the Au 3+ ion to Au 0 . A noticeable decrease in the binding energies of the Au4 f doublet peak of the Au NP with PVP as compared to the bulk Au atom implies interfacial interaction between the Au NP and PVP molecules. A marked enhancement in vibrational band intensities of C-H (2,961, 2,936, and 2,872 cm −1 ) stretching, C-N (1,463 cm −1 ) stretching, and CH 2 (1,381 cm −1 ) bending vibrations in the pyrrolidone ring of PVP molecules reveals a charge-transfer-type interaction between the PVP molecules and surface of the Au NP. A significant decay of the emission band intensity (approximately 85%) in the π ← π* band of the PVP molecules at approximately 392 nm in the presence of Au NPs suggests non-bonding ( n ) electron transfer from the O atom of the pyrrolidone ring of PVP molecules to the electron-deficient Au NP. A negative zeta potential of (−) 15.2 mV reveals accumulation of n -electrons of the O atom of the carbonyl group of PVP molecules on the surface of the Au NP. Transmission electron microscopic images of PVP-capped Au NPs corroborate the spectroscopic results.
