Hidefumi Naito opened a discussion of the paper by Monica Olvera de la Cruz: Firstly, why does sodium chloride not induce nanoparticle aggregation? What is the difference between monovalent and divalent cations for that aggregation? Secondly, which is true,“divalent cation is important” or “calcium ion is important”? What I mean is, if we use magnesium ions instead of calcium ions, is there any difference for nanoparticle aggregation?Monica Olvera de la Cruz replied: Actually, in strongly negatively charged particles, such as ds-DNA-Au nanoparticles, the precipitation into crystals is also seen at 0.750 M of NaCl and above1 although in that case of ds-DNA-Au nanoparticles, the precipitation (salting-out) occurs with CaCl2 at concentrations 0.150 M and above. Therefore, divalent ions are more important than monovalent in the case of the salting-out of strongly negatively charged nanoparticles. In our present case of ss-DNA-Au nanoparticles we do observe contractions of crystals adding NaCl provided there is some amount of CaCl in the system. Other divalent salts including MgCl2 also cause similar precipitation of ss-DNA-Au nanoparticles as well as re-expansion with further addition of salt (results with different divalent salts will be published in the near future).
