Here [Au2{S2P(OiPr)2}2]n, complex functioned as gold (Au) source and 4?-amino-biphenyl-4-carboxylic molecule stabilized gold (Au) nanorods (NRs) through the unidirectional coating of Au surface during its growth in the reaction medium.enAu nanorodsseed freesingle molecular precursor[Au2{S2P(OiPr)2}2]n complexArticlehttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/aoc.5220
