Abstract

A novel protocol for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is presented, utilizing HAuCl4 and a 1 : 2 acetone–acetylacetone mixture as the reducing agent. Nanoparticle size was regulated by reagent concentration. Characterization confirmed spherical AuNPs with an LSPR peak at 521 nm and average sizes of 14.7 nm (TEM) and 23.7 nm (DLS), indicating biomedical relevance.
