Simple and supramolecular copper complexes as precursors in the HRTEM induced formation of crystalline copper nanoparticles.
In the HRTEM investigations of copper(I) bisphenanthroline nanoscaffolds and simple precursor complexes, nanoparticles were generated that upon closer inspection turned out to be pure crystalline copper nanoparticles.
