Positive homotropic allosteric binding of silver(i) ions in multidentate azacalixpyridine macrocycles: effect on the formation and stabilization of silver nanoparticles†
Abstract
We report herein the occurrence of a positive homotropic allosteric binding effect of two macrocyclic azacalixpyridines. This effect was firstly found to be crucial in the formation and stabilization of ultra-small
