Abstract
Disclosed are nanoparticles which include a nanoparticle core having a core diameter of greater than 5 nm and a single functional moiety bonded to the nanoparticle core. Also disclosed are nanoparticles which include a nanoparticle core having a core diameter of greater than 1.4 nm and a single functional moiety bonded to the nanoparticle core, wherein the single functional moiety does not contain a nucleic acid molecule that includes 100 or more nucleotides. A method for preparing a functionalized nanoparticle is also disclosed. The method includes providing a nanoparticle core and providing a functionalizing moiety that includes a functional group and a reactive group. The functional group is attached to a substrate surface, and the reactive group is capable of bonding to the nanoparticle core's surface. The method further includes contacting the nanoparticle core's surface with the functionalizing moiety under conditions effective to bind the functionalizing moiety's reactive group and the nanoparticle core's surface together.
