In this work, a new class of host-guest polymer has been synthesised and characterized based on preparation Au(I):6-thioguanosine hydrogel (host) that is carrying gold nanoparticles AuNPs (guest). The morphology of the formed polymer was investigated with Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) technique. The images displayed converting the linear polymer of the hydrogel to the stars-like shape upon treating with AuNPs. Statistical analysis was achieved for the AFM images to investigate the height of the polymer. The data revealed that the height fibre of the new polymer was similar to 1.5 nm with presence new heights in the range of 8-15 nm which are belong to the entities of AuNPs in the gel. Also, the new polymer exhibits typical diameter (1.5 nm) which is lower than the diameter of the polymer without AuNPs. The presence of AuNPs causes quenching the fluorescence of the hydrogel from 606 nm to 511 nm upon treating with AuNPs. These observations confirm the effect of intramolecular interactions of AuNPs on the morphology and the optical properties of the Au(I) hydrogel. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
