Thermolysis of gold(I) thiolate complex, [C14H29(CH3)3N][Au(SC12H25)2], at 180 degrees C for 5 h under an N2 atmosphere produces novel gold nanoparticles passivated by alkyl groups derived from the precursor complex, the TEM image of which shows spherical particles with average diameter 26 nm.

Treatment of a κ-P-monodentate bicyclic diphosphane iridium(III) complex with a labile gold(I) precursor afforded an unusual Ir/Au complex in which the P-P single bond has been cleaved. This reaction was cleanly reversed upon addition of tertiary phosphine. Carbon-carbon bond activation, across neighbouring PCN rings of the coordinated bicyclic diphosphane, occurred upon thermolysis of the Ir/Au complex.

Consecutive synthesis methodologies for the preparation of the gold(I) carboxylates [(Ph(3)P)AuO(2)CCH(2)(OCH(2)CH(2))(n)OCH(3)] (n = 0-6) (6a-g) are reported, whereby selective mono-alkylation of diols HO(CH(2)CH(2)O)(n)H (n = 0-6), Williamson ether synthesis and metal carboxylate (Ag, Au) formation are the key steps. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 6a (n = 0) and 6b (n = 1) were carried out showing that the P-Au-O unit is essentially linear. These compounds were applied in the formation of gold nanoparticles (NP) by a thermally induced decomposition process and hence the addition of any further stabilizing and reducing reagents, respectively, is not required.

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have been synthesized using simple thermolysis, whether from the mesophase or from toluene solutions, of mesogenic alkynyl-isocyanide gold complexes [Au(C≡C-C(6)H(4)-C(m)H(2m+1))(C≡N-C(6)H(4)-O-C(n)H(2n+1))]. The thermal decomposition from the mesophase is much slower than from solution and produces a more heterogeneous size distribution of the nanoparticles. Working in toluene solution, the size of nanoparticles can be modulated from ~2 to ~20 nm by tuning the chain lengths of the ligands present in the precursor.

Gold(I) halides, including AuCl and AuBr, were employed for the first time as precursors in the synthesis of Au nanoparticles. The synthesis was accomplished by dissolving Au(I) halides in chloroform in the presence of alkylamines, followed by decomposition at 60 degrees C. The relative low stability of the Au(I) halides and there derivatives eliminated the need for a reducing agent, which is usually required for Au(III)-based precursors to generate Au nanoparticles.
