A One-Dimensional Superstructure from the Self-Assembly of Ag Nanoparticles Induced by Cu2+ Ion Coordination
The self-assembly of spherical silver nanoparticles with variable size and controlled organization using triglycine as an organic template is described. Triglycine and silver nitrate were used as the starting materials for the preparation of the spherical nanoparticles, and in the presence of copper cations, the particles further self-assembled into one dimensional nanostructures. The formation of supramolecular nanoaggregates was evaluated by means of UV/vis, TEM, SEM, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.
