CryoTEM images of DOPC vesicles prepared in the presence of alkanethiol-coated 1.8 nm diameter gold nanocrystals. Only when lipid/nanocrystal films were annealed with chloroform vapor did the dodecanethiol-coated nanocrystals load the vesicle bilayers (middle row). Hexadecanethiol-coated nanocrystals caused interlamellar attachments to form between DOPC bilayers when annealed with chloroform (bottom row).
