Schematic representation of Gold nanoparticles (NPs). NPs decorated with (A) first generation dendron with two sulfonate end groups, (B) second generation dendron with four sulfonate end groups and (C) third generation dendron with eight sulfonate end groups. The generation of NPs is determined by considering that each generation corresponds to the number of repeating layers of silicon atoms forming the NP.
