Abstract

Ferrocene (Fc) in ether reduces HAuCl4 in water within seconds under ambient conditions in air upon stirring, forming ferricinium chloride stabilized water-soluble 20 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that are redispersible in the presence of poly(N-vinylmethylpyrrolidone) or NaBH4 + thiol. After reduction with NaBH4 yielding Fc and 26 nm sodium poly(hydroxyborate) stabilized AuNPs, the core size no longer changes following reactions with thiols providing (RS)nAuNPs.
