$\alpha$-D-mannosyl fullerene[$C_{60}$]-functionalized gold nanoparticle films were selfassembled using the layer-by-layer method on the reactive of glass slides functionlized with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. The functionalized glass slides were alternately soaked in the solutions containing $\alpha$-D-mannosyl fullerene[$C_{60}$] and 4-aminothiophenoxide/hexanethiolate-protected gold nanoparticles. $\alpha$-D-mannosyl fullerene[$C_{60}$]-functionalized gold nanoparticle films have grown up to 5 layers depending on the immersion time. The self-assembled nanoparticle films were characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy showed that the surface plasmon band of gold at 530 nm gradually became more evident as successive layers were added to the films.
