Seeded Growth of Plasmonic Core-Shell NU-1000 NanoMOFs With Intracellular Optical Readout.
Plasmonic gold bipyramids (AuBipy) encapsulated within a NU-1000 metal-organic framework (MOF) create robust core-shell nanocomposites. These porous nanoassemblies combine the near-infrared (NIR) plasmonic resonance of the metallic core with the intrinsic photoluminescence of the pyrene-based organic linkers. Comprehen...
