Two 110-faceted gold nanostructures--rhombic dodecahedra and obtuse triangular bipyramids--have been synthesized via a Ag-assisted, seed-mediated growth method. The combination of a Cl (-) -containing surfactant with a low concentration of Ag (+) plays a role in the stabilization of the 110 facets. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported synthesis of a 110-faceted bipyramid structure.
