Question: What is the active ingredient present in Tea responsible for the reduction of AuNps?
Experiment: Synthesize gold nanoparticles of ~ 10-15nm size using Tea leaves as a reducing agent.
Synthesis:
Step 1: In a 20 ml vial, 0.012g of Gum Arabic was dissolved in 6ml of doubly ionized water D (I).
Step 2: 100mg of Tea leaves (Lipton Loose Tea) was added to the above solution. The reaction mixture was stirred continuously at 25 C for 15 min.
Step 3: To the stirring mixture was added 100 μl of 0.1 M NaAuCl4 solution (in DI water). The color of the mixture turned purple-red from pale yellow within 10 minutes indicating the formation of gold nanoparticles.
Step 4: The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 15 minutes. The gold nanoparticles thus formed were separated from residual tea leaves immediately using a 5 micron filter.

Experiment . the reduction of bencil (March 2020) Your name Sodium borohydride is a convert recent for the reduction of dehydes and ketones to 1" and 2 alcohols, respectively. The mechanism of the reaction - (below) is straightforward and is driven by boron's affinity for oxygen. In addition, given borohydride's remarkably low reactivity with OH groups under neutral and especially basic conditions, this reaction can be done in alcohol solvents. This means that (unlike LAH or Grignard reactions) no separate...
