Borohydride reduction of AgNO3 in polyacrylate aqueous solutions: Two-stage synthesis of 'blue silver'

摘要

Two-stage synthesis of "blue silver," complex compound of metal clusters and polyacrylic acid anion having a typical absorption band at 750 nm was performed by the partial oxidation of unstable products resulted from the borohydride reduction of silver cations in polyacrylate aqueous solutions.
