Chemically tailorable colloidal particles from infinite coordination polymers
Article Abstract:
The organic particles are usually prepared through polymerizatuion of suitable monomers or precipitation methods and particle fabrication tends to involve the reduction of a metal salt or the controlled mixing of salt solutions supplying a metal cation and an elemental anion. The simple addition of an initiation solvent to a precursor solution of metal ions and metalloligands results in the spontaneous and fully reversible formation of a few hundred nanometres

Controlling anistropic nanoparticle growth through plasmon excitation
Article Abstract:
Shape selective synthesis strategies yields shapes such as anisotropic metal nanostructures with interesting optical properties. Depending on the illumination wavelengths chosen, the plasmon excitations lead either to fusion of nanoprisms in an edge-selective manner or to the growth of the nanoprisms until they reach their light controlled final size.
