Facile synthesis of bimetal Au–Ag nanoparticles in a Cu(i) boron imidazolate framework with mechanochromic properties†
Abstract
A Cu(I) boron imidazolate framework with 2-fold interpenetrating ths topology shows luminescent mechanochromism, and it can directly reduce bimetal Au–Ag nanoparticles into its structure, leading to catalytic applications.
