Kinetic Reconstruction of DNA-Programed Plasmonic Metal Nanostructures with Predictable Shapes and Optical Properties.

ABSTRACT: It is desirable to rationally engineer plasmonic metal nanostructures with sets of structural parameters that lead to specific functions. However, it is still challenging to predict the nanostructured outcome of a synthesis reaction by design because not only the exact kinetic path for the structural evolution is very complicated but also the relationships among various functional and structural parameters are often tangled. It is necessary to deconvolute the structure-function relationships and understand the co-evolution of structural and functional parameters as the nanostructures grow. DNA is a programable biomolecular capping ligand that was shown to be capable of precisely controlling the evolution of metal nanostructures. In this study, we systematically analyzed the evolution of tw
