Highly ordered 3D hybrid networks of gold nanoparticles assemble after in-situ generation of linkers between particles, achieved by amide-bond formation. Unlike their counterparts obtained by linking Au nanoparticles with 1,ω-dithiols, which are amorphous, these networks show a regular hexagonal array (see Figure).
