The two-phase Brust-Schiffrin synthesis of alkane thiol protected metal nanoparticles has been shown to undergo significantly different processes dependent on the precursor species and reactant conditions. In this work X-ray absorption spectroscopy is used in conjunction with liquid/liquid electrochemistry in order to highlight the significance of B$${^-}$$r; to the reaction mechanism. We propose that the observed behavior of [AuBr$${_4}$$]$${^-}$$; species described herein explain a deviation in reported behavior present in the current literature. The reported mechanistic understanding should enable a nanoparticle synthesis with a higher yield and reduce size polydispersity.
