Studies on the relation between the size and dispersion of metallic silver nanoparticles and morphologies of initial silver(I) coordination polymer precursor
Microrods of 1D curaguated tape Ag(I) CP was synthesized as the bulk sample (1B). Microcubes of it were synthesized by sonochemical process (1S). Nanoparticles of it were prepared from mechanochemical reaction (1M). These samples were used for fabricating silver NPs via calcination and also in OA. The size and morphology of the precursor have direct influence on those of silver.
