Fig. 2: Different assembly stages of NCs.
From: A luminescent view of the clickable assembly of LnF3 nanoclusters

TEM images of the products obtained at assembly time of a 0, b 1, c 15, d 30, e 60, f 120, g 240, and h 360 min, respectively. i FT-IR spectra of the products obtained at the assembly time of 0, 5, 30, and 360 min, respectively. j Time-dependent size evolution of NCs. White dotted-circles in c show the NCs formed at very early stage.
