چکیده
Uniform M3PMo12O40·nH2O (M = NH , K, Cs) rhombic dodecahedral nanocrystals are successfully obtained using mild hydrothermal conditions or room temperature chemical precipitation method for their self-organization. The reaction temperatures and times play important roles in the possible growth proceeding of these nanostructures. Interestingly, from antibacterial testing, the nanostructured products show more effective antibacterial activity than that of the corresponding commercial products. Among these antibacterial nanomaterials, (NH4)3[PMo12O40]·nH2O rhombic dodecahedral nanocrystals show strong inhibition of the proliferation of E. coli during the whole 48 h culture period, which makes it a promising antibacterial material for practical applications.

Shape-dependent electrocatalytic activity of monodispersed gold nanocrystals toward glucose oxidation.
We systematically explore the shape-dependent catalytic activities of Au nanocrystals toward glucose oxidation in alkaline electrolytes, which is strongly dependent on the shape of the Au nanocrystals. The {100}-bounded cubic Au nanocrystals are significantly more active than the {110}-bounded rhombic dodecahedral and {111}-bounded octahedral Au nanocrystals.

A facile one-pot tactic is developed for the selective synthesis of either rhombic dodecahedral or cubic Pd nanocrystals with high yields. By applying a mild cleaning process, we establish for the first time reasonable and distinct electrochemical features corresponding to {110} or {100} facet predominated Pd nanocrystals.

Cubic, octahedral, and rhombic dodecahedral Cu2O nanocrystals bound by respectively {100}, {111}, and {110} facets were successfully employed to catalyze the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction for the regioselective synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles. Surfactant-free nanocrystals having the same total surface area were used for the catalysis. Strongly facet-dependent organocatalytic activity...
