Abstract
The synthesis of gold nanoparticles consists of several stages, i.e. reduction, nucleation and growth. The most important step in particles formation process is the reduction reaction of Au(III) ions to Au(I). The rate of such reaction determines the rate of nuclei formation, i.e. reduction reaction of Au(I) to Au(0) and thus the rate of nanoparticles formation. In this paper, the kinetics and mechanism of redox reaction between gold(III) chloride complex ions and L-ascorbic acid in the aqueous solution have been carried out using spectrophotometric technique. From the experimentally obtained kinetic curves the rate constants of reaction at different conditions of initial concentrations of reactants, pH, temperature, ionic strength and concentration of chloride ions, were determined. It was found that in strong acidic solution (pH 1.3), the values of enthalpy (Delta H double dagger) and entropy (Delta S double dagger) of activation were 38.5 kJ/mol and -89.5 kJ/mol K, respectively and at higher pH (pH 2.5) the values of Delta H double dagger and Delta S double dagger were 42.0 kJ/mol and -64.5 kJ/mol K, respectively. Using obtained results, the kinetic equation was determined and corresponding mechanism of reaction was suggested. Obtained data can be useful for calculating time of nuclei formation and consequently for better size control and size distribution of particles, e. g. in a microreactor. (C) 2012 Elsevier B. V.
