Abstract:
A facile synthesis of near-infrared (NIR) luminescent gold cluster-poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) hybrid nanogels was developed by in situ reduction of gold salt in the core-hollow and shell-porous PAA nanogels. These Au-PAA nanogels exhibited excellent near-infrared photoluminescence properties and showed targeting potential in the optical imaging of the living body.
