By using aminosugars, a series of multipodal gold nanostructures has been obtained via a one-pot chemical reduction method in aqueous solution and at room temperature. The size and shape of these NPs were controlled either by adjusting the amount of reducing agent or by quenching the reaction at a given time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
