title: Polyhedral Au nanocrystals exclusively bound by {110} facets: the rhombic dodecahedron.
abstract: The rhombic dodecahedral Au nanocrystals enclosed by 12 {110} facets could be readily prepared without the use of any seeds, surfactants, or foreign metal ions but only with N,N-dimethylformamide as both reductant and solvent.
