Fig. 3: Dynamic growth process of the bi-nanocluster.
From: Interdependence between nanoclusters AuAg24 and Au2Ag41
a Time-dependent UV–Vis spectra of the reaction process from 10 min to 9 h plotted on the photon energy scale. The UV–Vis spectra of thin-layer chromatography component points dissolved in dichloromethane (ai) “point 1”, (aii) “point 2”. Insert plots: thin-layer chromatography indicates the separation of reactants at different time interval;digital photos of the dichloromethane solution of separate components. Time-dependent UV–Vis spectra showed the disappearance of totally structured features of the b “point 1”, c “point 2” at room temperature. “Points 1 and 2” represent AuAg24 and Au2Ag41, respectively.
