Two Au(III) dithiolate complexes, [Au(dbbpy)(tdt)]PF(6) and Au(eta(2)-C,N-ppy)(tdt), (dbbpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine; tdt = 3,4-toluenedithiolate; ppy = C-deprotonated 2-phenylpyridine), have been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The complexes have low-energy absorption bands that exhibit mild solvatochromism (lambda(max) = 444 nm

Escherichia coli is used for eco-friendly extra cellular synthesis of metallic silver and gold nanoparticles. This is achieved by reducing AgNO3 and HAuCl4 solutions respectively under ambient conditions by using the extra cellular protein produced by the microorganism. The proteins

In this paper, a pH-inductive protein-scaffold biosynthesis of shape-tunable crystalline gold nanoparticles at room temperature has been developed. By simple manipulation of the reaction solution's pH, anisotropic gold nanoparticles including spheres, triangles and cubes could be produced by incubating an

In this report, we demonstrate a rapid and simple seeded growth method for synthesizing monodisperse, quasi-spherical, citrate-stabilized Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) via H(2)O(2) reduction of HAuCl(4). Au NPs with diameter ranging from 30 to 230 nm can be synthesized by

Soluble gold precatalysts, aimed for homogeneous catalysis, under certain conditions may form nanoparticles, which dramatically change the mechanism and initiate different chemistry. The present study addresses the question of designing gold catalysts, taking into account possible interconversions and contamination at
