Appl. No.:
12/720000
Inventors:
Rajesh Sardar - Carrboro NC, US
Patrick M. Shem - Salt Lake City UT, US

Abstract:
A method of synthesizing ligand-capped metal nanoparticles is disclosed and described. A method of synthesizing ligand-capped metal nanoparticles can comprise reacting a metal salt with 9-borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane as a reducing agent in the presence of a capping ligand to form the ligand-capped metal nanoparticles. The method can be a single step approach which also significantly broadens choices for capping agents which can be readily incorporated during formation of the metal nanoparticles.
