title: Size controlled formation of silver nanoparticles by direct bonding of ruthenium complexes bearing a terminal mono- or bi-pyridyl group.
abstract: Two polypyridyl ruthenium complexes containing either a terminal pyridine or phenanthroline group have been used to coat silver nanoparticles and control their size depending on the Ag/[RuII] ratio.
