Gold nanorods (GNRs) were encapsulated and dispersed into organic solvents by tetrabenzylthiol resorcinarene (TBTR) and by a poly(dithiocarbamate) derived from tetra-N-methyl(aminomethyl)resorcinarene (TMAR-DTC), formed by the in situ condensation of TMAR with carbon disulphide. The latter proved to be highly effective at enabling the redispersion of GNRs in various organic solvents. GNRs encapsulated in TMAR-DTC exhibited a strong solvatochromic response, with a refractive index sensitivity of more than 300 nm/RIU. The resorcinarene-encapsulated GNRs could withstand high temperatures for a short period of time, and could be used to nucleate the growth of magnetic nanoshells.

间苯二酚包封的金纳米棒：溶剂色差和磁性纳米壳形成

金纳米棒（GNRs）被四苄基硫醇间苯二酚（TBTR）和衍生自四-N-甲基（氨甲基）间苯二酚（TMAR-DTC）的聚（二硫代氨基甲酸酯）包裹并分散在有机溶剂中，由TMAR的原位缩合形成与二硫化碳。后者被证明在使 GNR 在各种有机溶剂中重新分散方面非常有效。封装在 TMAR-DTC 中的 GNR 表现出强烈的溶剂致变色响应，折射率灵敏度超过 300 nm/RIU。间苯二酚封装的 GNR 可以在短时间内承受高温，并可用于磁性纳米壳的生长成核。
