TLDR
Aqueous reduction of hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) with alkaline tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride yields gold in an ultrafinely divided form as a stable colloidal hydrosol, with mean metal-cluster diameter between 1 and 2 nm, without the need for large organic stabilizing molecules.Abstract:
Aqueous reduction of hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) with alkaline tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride yields gold in an ultrafinely divided form as a stable colloidal hydrosol, with mean metal-cluster diameter between 1 and 2 nm, without the need for large organic stabilizing molecules. The ultraviolet-visible extinction spectrum is very similar to those of other gold colloids of similar dimensions and includes a weak plasmon feature. Dispersions with characteristics of yet finer clusters are prepared using lower initial concentrations of Au3+ ions. Boiling the sols in the presence of appropriate colloidal stabilizers (ionic and/or polymeric) is a route to coarser (3-10 nm particle diameter) gold hydrosols. © 1993 American Chemical Society.read more

Preparation of gold in Y-type zeolite for carbon monoxide oxidation
Yih-Ming Kang,Ben-Zu Wan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, gold Y-type zeolite catalysts were used for low-temperature carbon monoxide oxidation without any pre-treatment, which was attributed to the substitution of OH − for the chloride around the gold ions.
