Abstract
Ligand stabilized gold nanoparticles have attracted much attention in the search for new chemically designed compounds for a future information technology, based on single-electron devices. This article gives an overview about the strategies used to synthesize and to assemble uniform gold nanoparticles in different dimensions as well as about the present status of the electrical properties of these. Examples are given for three-dimensional organisations, for the formation of self-assembled monolayers as well as for one-dimensional assemblies.
