Abstract (en)

An aqueous liquor for use as an electroless gold deposition bath, which comprises a source of gold (eg. an alkali metal gold cyanide) and a reducing agent (eg. an alkali metal borohydride), is stabilised by the incorporation of a mixture of an alkali metal or ammonium ferrocyanide and an alkali metal or ammonium ferricyanide or the incorporation of 1-H-tetrazole or another redox mediator. The liquor will in general also contain an alkali metal cyanide and may contain a chelating agent (eg. EDTA) and an accelerator (eg. thallium sulfate).
