*The three sets of spectra for Tris show almost no change in absorbancy. There is a drop in absorbancy for 1*10<sup>-4</sup>M Tris solution, but not in any others. More trials should be run to determine if this was due to noise or a change in dissolution over time.
*Just like the [[User:Michael_F._Nagle/Notebook/Chem_571/2012/09/11|sets with Tris at pH 8]], there was no change in absorbance at 528nm relative to background, and the entire background dropped over the course of the 3 sets.

Objectives

  • With UV/Vis, see how varyious concentrations of Tris at pH=10 dissolve HAuCl4 and BSA fibers
  • Prepare solution of HAuCl4 and BSA at a concentration that will have AuNPs in solution rather than fibers. The particles in solution will be mixed with Tris buffer to see how they are affected.

Procedure

  • Solutions with a 170 mole ratio of HAuCl4 and BSA prepared yesterday were centrifuged at 3000rpm and 10oC for 5 minutes.
    • Water was removed with a pipette
    • A serial dilution with Tris was completed exactly as on 9/4, with Tris stock at pH 10 made that day.
    • Solutions were analyzed via UV/Vis
  • A 70 [Au/BSA] solution was prepared just like the one on 8/29, using the same stock solutions. These went in oven at 85oC for 4 hours.

Data

Discussion

  • Just like the sets with Tris at pH 8, there was no change in absorbance at 528nm relative to background, and the entire background dropped over the course of the 3 sets.
