	Thiol-capped metal nanoparticles have two constituents:an inorganicmetal and an organic molecule as a shell. Both characters are inbuiltin the structure of the metal thiolate. Herein, we have investigatedbismuth dodecanethiolate as a precursor for the synthesis of dodecanethiol-cappedbismuth nanoparticles (Bi NPs) by a solid-state grinding method. Byusing sodium borohydride and bismuth dodecanethiolate, crystallinebismuth nanoparticles are synthesized in a solvent-free environmentat room temperature (24 &amp; PLUSMN; 4 &amp; DEG;C). Bi NPs are tested for catalyticactivity by reducing 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP)with an excess of NaBH4. Dodecanethiol-capped bismuth nanoparticlesexhibit an efficient reduction of 4-NP to 4-AP within 12 min. Additionally,these nanoparticles remain catalytically active for up to three cycles.</p>
