Multifaceted ligand design facilitates chemical- or peptide-mediated linking of hollow gold nanoshells with tuned interparticle distance, interference and cytotoxicities

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Rational design of tunable multi-tasking ligands offers a versatile platform to link hollow gold nanoshells, in which molecular weight of polyethylene glycol arms and length of the spacer play key roles in composition control and optical properties.
