  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Gold Clusters, Colloids and Nanoparticles II

Part of the book series: Structure and Bonding ((STRUCTURE,volume 162))

Abstract

We present a topical review of research in the field of metal-coated gold nanorods. By combining synthetic design strategies with state-of-the art characterisation techniques (particularly aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy) and molecular dynamic simulations, we demonstrate the potential to gain a fundamental understanding of, and control over, the atomic detail of metal–metal bonding at the interfaces of core–shell nanorods and nanoparticles. This analysis is facilitated by making comparisons between the related bimetallic systems: AuRh, AuPd and AuPt.
