Synthesis of Au nanoparticles by the reaction of HAuCl4·nH2O with organoaluminum compounds
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The reaction of HAuCl4.nH2O with organoaluminum compounds (HAlBui2or_{}AlR3,R=Me, Et, Bui) in organic solvents, followed by hydrolysis in the presence of a tertiary thiol (5-methylundecane-5-thiol), afforded gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The proposed method enables the production of AuNPs with particle sizes ranging from 2 to 20 nm. The smallest particle sizes were observed when reducing HAuCl4with HAlBui2. Nanoparticles have been characterized by the means of STEM, PCCS, XPS, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The proposed method may be further utilized for the deposition of metal nanoparticles onto solid supports for applications in catalysis and other fields.
