title: Spontaneous one dimensional arrangement of spherical Au nanoparticles with liquid crystal ligands.
abstract: Spontaneous one dimensional arrangements of spherical Au nanoparticles were accomplished by using a liquid crystalline thiol ligand, 4'-(12-mercaptododecyloxy)biphenyl-4-carbonitrile. Simple thermal treatment of Au nanoparticles with the ligands showed 1D ordering of the Au nanoparticles.
