Solvent-mediated assembly of atom-precise gold–silver nanoclusters to semiconducting one-dimensional materials

Bottom-up design of functional device components based on nanometer-sized building blocks relies on accurate control of their self-assembly behavior. Here, the authors demonstrate a solvent-mediated polymerization of atom-precise gold–silver nanoclusters into macroscopic single crystals with highly...
