Single Crystal and Pentatwinned Gold Nanorods Result in Chiral Nanocrystals with Reverse Handedness Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (IF 16.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Kyle Van Gordon, Bing Ni, Robin Girod, Mikhail Mychinko, Francisco Bevilacqua, Sara Bals, Luis M Liz-Marzán
Handedness is an essential attribute of chiral nanocrystals, having a major influence on their properties. During chemical growth, the handedness of nanocrystals is usually tuned by selecting the corresponding enantiomer of chiral molecules involved in asymmetric growth, often known as chiral inducers. We report that, even using the same chiral inducer enantiomer, the handedness of chiral gold nanocrystals
