Abstract

Phytochemical based synthesis of palladium nanoparticles by bioreduction of medicinally potent plant extract Coleus amboinicus is investigated in the present study. Treatment of palladium chloride with Coleus amboinicus extract resulted in the formation of palladium nanoparticles. The formation of palladium nanoparticles were confirmed using UV-vis, FTIR, TEM and XRD. Polyols such as flavones, terpenoids and polysaccharides would be involved in bioreduction of metallic Pd (II) to Pd (0). The nanoparticles were spherical and triangular in shape with size ranging from 10-28 nm.
