The nanoparticles used were synthesized in an organic medium and then were subjected to digestive ripening to finally yield monodisperse nanoparticles. A simple drop casting on TEM grid lead to the results observed. Based on the thermo gravimetric analysis, it is hypothesized that inclusion of the particles in Au(I)-thiolate template is mainly responsible for the formation of linear assembly.
