In this paper, we report the extracellular synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles using Emblica Officinalis (amla, Indian Gooseberry) fruit extract as the reducing agent to synthesize Ag and Au nanoparticles, their subsequent phase transfer to an organic solution and the transmetallation reaction of hydrophobized silver nanoparticles with hydrophobized chloroaurate ions. On treating aqueous silver sulfate and chloroauric acid solutions with Emblica Officinalis fruit extract, rapid reduction of the silver and chloroaurate ions is observed leading to the formation of highly stable silver and gold nanoparticles in solution. Transmission Electron Microscopy analysis of the silver and gold nanoparticles indicated that they ranged in size from 10 to 20 nm and 15 to 25 nm respectively. Ag and Au nanoparticles thus synthesized were then phase transferred into an organic solution using a cationic surfactant octadecylamine. Transmetallation reaction between hydrophobized silver nanoparticles and hydrophobized chloroaurate ions in chloroform resulted in the formation of gold nanoparticles.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.338</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ankamwar, Balaprasad</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chaudhary, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sastry, M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gold nanotriangles biologically synthesized using tamarind leaf extract and potential application in vapor sensing</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Synthesis and Reactivity in Inorganic Metal-Organic and Nano-Metal Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biosynthesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">gold nanotriangles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">tamarind leaf</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">vapor sensing</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TAYLOR &amp; FRANCIS INC</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">325 CHESTNUT ST, SUITE 800, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19106 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">35</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19-26</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The size and shape dependent electronic and chemical properties of metal nanoparticles has drawn the attention of chemists, physicists, biologists, and engineers who wish to use them for the development of new generation nanodevices. In this article, we report the synthesis of gold nanotriangles using tamarind leaf extract as the reducing agent. On treating aqueous chloroauric acid solution with tamarind leaf extract, rapid reduction of the chloroaurate ions is observed leading to the formation of flat and thin single crystalline gold nanotriangles. Atomic force microscopy analysis of the gold nanotriangles indicated that they ranged in thickness from 20 to 40 nm. These gold nanotriangles with unique and highly anisotropic planer shapes might find application in photonics, optoelectronics, and optical sensing. We investigated the effect of different organic solvent vapors like methanol, benzene and acetone on the conductivity of tamarind leaf extract reduced gold nanotriangles. I-V characteristics measurement of these nanotriangles was done in presence of these organic solvent vapors. The observed characteristics suggest the application of gold nanotriangles to future chemical sensors.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.493</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ankamwar, Balaprasad</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morphology and polymorphic phase changes of calcium carbonate micro/nanocrystals using fruit extracts</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aragonite</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calcite</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emblica officinalis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morphology Changes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphic Changes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamarindus indica</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAY</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AMER SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHERS</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25650 NORTH LEWIS WAY, STEVENSON RANCH, CA 91381-1439 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3997-4003</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;This study reveals the morphology and polymorphic phase changes of calcium carbonate crystals into a mixture of calcite and aragonite micro/nanocrystals of interesting morphology at room temperature by a simple reaction with fruit extracts of Tamarindus indica and Emblica officinalis respectively by mixing CaCO(3) solutions with their corresponding extracts. The control experiments were carried out to establish the plausible role of tartaric acid from Tamarindus indica and ascorbic acid from Emblica officinalis in this regard. The quantitative determination of CaCO(3) phases was done based on the use of intensities obtained from corresponding XRD spectrum. The molar %. of aragonite was found to be more in case of TA and AA rather than TI and EO respectively, however the calcite was observed to be the predominant phase in all four reactions. Interestingly, the TI changes the rhombohedral morphology of calcite to elongated rods, whereas EO induces a great polymorphic phase change.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.57</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
