title: Light-triggered covalent assembly of gold nanoparticles in aqueous solution.
abstract: UV light irradiation triggers Au NPs that are respectively functionalized on the surface by o-nitrobenzyl alcohol and benzylamine to proceed with a covalent ligation reaction, which leads to assembling of Au NPs into anisotropic one-dimensional (1D) arrays in aqueous solution via indazolone linkages.
