Abstract

Silver nanoparticles have been prepared under microwave irradiation from a solution of silver nitrate in the presence of N 1,N 2-diphenylbenzamidine (DPBA) or simply amidine without any stabilizing agent. Different morphologies of silver colloids with charming colors could be obtained using N 1,N 2-diphenylbenzamidine (DPBA). The structures of silver colloids were determined by TEM. UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to follow the reaction process and to characterize the optical properties of the resultant silver colloids. The influence of unconventional reducing agent on the morphology of silver was investigated.
