16. 3) leads to a disordering or solubilization of the chains on the particle. This is evident in solution-state NMR studies, where the spectra become relatively well-resolved and narrow-lined, indicative of a highly mobile state. Any solvent which allows the isolation of the RS-Au particles in solution will most likely also solvate the alkyl chains and disrupt chain-chain interactions; the net result is an absence of any phase-transition behavior in the temperature region probed in Figures 3 and 4.
