Abstract
A novel method for fabrication of complex gold nanostructures is presented. Fractal aggregations of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) chelates formed in seconds during solvent evaporation are used as masks for gold plating. SEM analysis shows evidence of general features on several scales from 100 μm down to considerably less than 100 nm with complete metal coverage.
