Gold(<scp>i</scp>)–silver(<scp>i</scp>)-calix[8]arene complexes, precursors of bimetallic alloyed Au–Ag nanoparticles

Abstract

We report the synthesis of new bimetallic gold(<sc>i</sc>)–silver(<sc>i</sc>) calix[8]arene complexes and their radiolytic reduction leading to small Au–Ag alloyed nanoparticles.
