Long-term preservation of the properties of gold nanoparticles in both solution and the dry powder form can be difficult. We have overcome this challenge by using organotellurium derivatives as both reducing agents and stabilizers in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. This new synthetic protocol takes advantage of the photochemical and oxidative properties of diphenyl ditelluride (Ph<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>2</sub>), which, so far, have never been exploited in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles.
