The use of functional gold nanoparticles in biology is one of the fast-moving and exciting fields in nanotechnology.[1–8] Methods that enable the synthesis of highly stable gold nanoparticles with controlled size or shape has received a widespread research effort because the properties, such as optical, magnetic, electronic, and catalytic activities, are all dimensionally sensitive.[9–14] To obtain high-quality gold nanoparticles, previous studies have explored the utility of citrate, thiolates, phosphanes, amines, carbonyls, dendrimers, and surfactant ligands to stabilize gold nanoparticles in solution.[15] Particularly, thiolate-capped gold nanoparticles are of special interest because the organothiolate isolable monolayer-protected gold products exhibit superb stability to air exposure, long-term storage, and concentration extremes.[16, 17]Among the methods used to prepare thiolate-capped gold nanoparticles, including ligand-exchange procedures and direct synthesis, the Brust synthesis is believed to be the simplest and provides a gram-scale approach.[18, 19] This synthesis proceeds in three steps, as shown in Equations (1)–
