A wide range of methods can be used for nature-inspired metallic nanoparticle (NP) synthesis. These syntheses, however, are ongoing in the presence of diverse mixtures of different chemical compounds, and all or only a few of these contribute to resultant particle properties. Herein, the linden (Tilia sp.) inflorescence leachate and pure citric and protocatechuic acids were chosen for Ag-AgCl nanoparticle (NP) synthesis, and the resultant particles were then compared. We focused on the following four issues: (1) preparation of Ag-AgCl NPs using the Tilia sp.-based phytosynthetic protocol, (2) analytical determination of the common phenolic, nonphenolic, and inorganic profiles of three Tilia sp. types from different harvesting locations, (3) preparation of Ag-AgCl NPs using a mixture of citric and protocatechuic acids based on chromatographic evaluation, and (4) comparison of Tilia-based and organic acid-based syntheses. Our research confirms that the Tilia organic and inorganic profiles in biomasses are influenced by the harvesting location, and the three sites influenced both the morphology and final NP size. Our processing method was uniform, and this enabled great Ag-AgCl NP reproducibility for each specific biomass. We were then able to prove that the simplified organic acid-based synthesis produced even smaller NPs than Tilia-based synthesis. These findings provide better understanding of the significant influence on NP final properties resulting from other organic acids contained in the linden.
