Abstract: Four flavonoids including genistein, luteolin, daidzein and naringenin can reduce HAuCl4 to form gold nanoparticles in different acidity. There are good linear correlations between the signal of plasmon resonance absorption of gold nanoparticles and the concentration of four flavonoids. Thus, we developed a method to detect these four flavonoids respectively. By analyzing the molecular structure and calculating the electron cloud density distribution of the atoms using Materials-studio 4.0, we found that suitable pH for the reaction of different flavonoids and HAuCl4 was related to the number of phenolic hydroxyl group of flavonoid and electron cloud density distribution of alkaline oxygen atoms.

Key words: Genistein, Luteolin, Daidzein, Naringenin, Gold nanoparticles, Plasmon resonance absorption
