Published on: March 2, 2016

  • The dimensions (shape and size) of AuNP assemblies are significantly influenced by the electronic properties of the organic cross-linker.
  • The optical properties of AuNP assemblies are also modulated by the nature of the AuNPs and the cross-linker.
  • A direct correlation was observed between cross-linker electronics and assembly morphology.

Conclusions:

  • Fundamental insights into AuNP assembly control factors have been achieved.
  • The findings enable the rational design and construction of novel materials based on AuNP assemblies.
  • Tailoring cross-linker electronics and AuNP nature offers a pathway to tune assembly properties.
