Abstract
The formation of fiber‐like colloidal particles of the amino acid lysine complexed with Keggin ions is demonstrated. The lysine–phosphotungstic acid (PTA) colloidal particles act as excellent templates for the synthesis and assembly of gold nanoparticles wherein the lysine‐PTA complex acts as a UV‐switchable reducing agent for gold ions. This novel bio‐organic–inorganic template shows excellent potential as a regulated nanoreactor for application in programmed nanoparticle synthesis and assembly in a single step.
