Abstract
A new low temperature method of reducing metallic salts, both inorganic and organic to metallic nanoparticles has been discovered. The reduction reaction is carried out in low boiling point monoalkylethers of ethylene glycol and mixtures of this solvent with alkane diols. Metallic nanoparticles are produced with size range of 1–100 nm.
