Controlled sol-gel nanoassembly of Au25(SR)18 nanoclusters for structural and functional integration
Structural assembly of nanomaterials imparts new and enhanced properties to individual components. The “Sol-gel” approach has been a traditional technique to connect diverse types of materials. Here, 3-mercaptopropyl (trimethoxysilane) (MPTS), a dual-functional ligand, has been employed to assemble one of the popular m...
