Embodiment 1

[0096] This example describes the preparation of novel metal-organic hybrid nanoparticles by, for example, figure 1 Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), as described in , controls polymer growth on the surface of gold nanoparticle templates. In this method, organosoluble gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are modified with norbornene-terminated linear alkanethiols (2). Then, the ROMP catalyst (1) capable of enduring functional groups is used to directly initiate the polymerization reaction on the surface of the particles, and then the monomer raw material containing norbornene groups is injected into the solution of the initial nanoparticles.

[0097] Two tentative conceptual systems emerged. The first is GNPs with a polymer shell of ferrocene-3 functionalized with norbornene groups with redox activity. The second is GNPs functionalized with the initial unit of 3 and subsequently functionalized with another redox-active norbornenyl-containing monomer 4. The redox potential...

Embodiment 2

[0150] This example describes compound 5 (see Figure 4 )Synthesis. To a 100 mL Schlenk flask was added 2-norbornene-5-exo-ol (1.10 g, 10 mmol), 3-thiopheneacetic acid (1.42 g, 10 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (80 mg, 0.42 mmol). The above three solids were dissolved in toluene (60 mL) and a Dean / Stark trap was fitted on top of the flask. A water condenser was placed on top of the Dean / Stark trap and the mixture was heated to reflux. Over 6 hours, the volume of the reaction mixture was reduced to 20 mL by occasionally collecting solvent from the bottom of the Dean / Stark trap. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, poured into water (50 mL), and extracted with ether (3 x 50 mL). The organic portions were combined, washed with brine (50 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, and filtered into a 500 mL round bottom flask. The solvent was removed under vacuum with a rotary evaporator. The resulting pale yellow oil was chromatographed on silica gel with 1:1 CH 2 ...

Embodiment 3

[0158] This example describes compound 6 (see Figure 4 )Synthesis. In an inert atmosphere glove box, exo-5-norbornen-2-ol (710 mg, 6.45 mmol) was weighed and placed in a 50 mL Schlenk flask. THF (15 mL) was added, and while the solution was vigorously stirred, sodium metal (160 mg, 6.96 mmol) was added free of oil. The mixture was then removed from the glove box, refluxed under nitrogen sparging for 12 hours, and allowed to cool to room temperature. In a separate 100 mL Schlenk flask, 2,5-dibromo-3-bromomethylthiophene (2.01 g, 6.00 mmol) was dissolved in THF (15 mL), and the flask was fitted with an isobaric dropping funnel. The cooled deprotonated exo-5-norbornen-2-ol solution was then transferred via cannula to an isobaric dropping funnel (excess Na was quenched with isopropanol) and, under vigorous stirring, Add slowly to the thiophene solution over 10 minutes. Afterwards, the dropping funnel was replaced with a condenser, and the mixture was refluxed for another 12 h...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for preparing nanoparticles having attached thereto at least one polymer shell, each polymer shell having selected properties. The method comprises attaching an initial monomer to the surface of a nanoparticle; contacting the nanoparticle with the initial monomer attached thereto to a transition metal ring-opening metathesis catalyst to activate the initial monomer; and contacting the nanoparticle with one or Multiple propagating monomers of the formula P-L-N are contacted under effective conditions so that the propagating monomers polymerize into one or more polymer shells. In the formula P-L-N, N is a cyclic olefin-containing group, P is a moiety that imparts selected properties to each polymer shell, and L is a chemical bond or linker. The present invention also provides polymers formed from the polymerization of said propagating monomers. The present invention further provides nanoparticles, initial monomers and propagating monomers of formula P-L-N, wherein P has properties selected from redox activity, optical activity, electrical activity and magnetic activity, and L and N are as defined above. The present invention also provides linking monomers of the formula B-L-N, wherein B is a linking moiety specially linked to an analyte, and L and N are as defined above. Finally, the invention provides methods and kits for detecting or quantifying an analyte.
