title: Spontaneous assembly of iridium nanochain-like structures: surface enhanced Raman scattering activity using visible light.
abstract: A facile, environmentally friendly approach to synthesize branched Ir nanochain-like structures under mild conditions, using polyfunctional capping molecules in an aqueous medium is reported; the nanostructures exhibit a surface plasmon resonance peak (SPR) in the visible region and serve as an active substrate for surface enhanced Raman scattering studies.
