title: N-heterocyclic carbene-stabilized gold nanoparticles and their assembly into 3D superlattices.
abstract: The facile one-phase synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene-stabilized gold nanoparticles (NHC-AuNP) by reduction of NHC-gold(I) complexes and their self-assembly into 3D superlattices is presented.
