ABSTRACT
Single crystal silver wires can be grown at the nitrobenzene|water interface when silver ions dissolved in the aqueous phase are reduced by decamethyl ferrocene dissolved in the nitrobenzene phase. The successful growth of these wires depends on a number of experimental conditions, most prominently on the concentration ratio of reactants, nucleation rates, shape of formed nuclei, and wettability of nuclei. The size-time dependence can be modeled on the basis of microelectrode behavior of the silver nuclei and wire. AFM, SEM, light microscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction has been applied to study the morphology of the silver nuclei and wires.
