Phase transfer of aqueous gold nanoparticles to non-polar hexanes

In this report, we put efforts in studying the phase transfer of aqueous gold nanoparticles (NPs) to non-polar hexanes. Initially, with sodium citrate and gold (III) chloride tri-hydrate (HAuCl4) as the starting reactants, gold NPs have been first successfully synthesized by the citrate reduction me...
