Metal nanoparticles displaying localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) are attractive to sensing, biological imaging, and nanomedical applications. Building nanoassemblies of different metals is of great value toward heterogeneous plasmon hybridization, LSPR tuning, and “lighting-up” of dark LSPR states. Based on the distinct activities of different nanounits and their spatial proximity, functional synergy or relay may be realized. Gold and silver nanomaterials strongly absorb and scatter light in the visible region, making them first choices for plasmonic engineering. However, silver is far less popular than gold in the bottom-up construction of plasmonic structures, which is mainly due to its unsatisfactory chemical and colloidal stabilities. On the other hand, the interband transition of silver nanoparticles is far away from their plasmon resonance, which, along with their relatively small plasmon loss, leads to strong and somewhat symmetric LSPR peaks superior to gold nanoparticles. More importantly, the simultaneous introduction of gold and silver into self-assembled structures is expected to generate properties and functions that cannot be realized by homogeneous assemblies. However, the dramatically different chemical properties of gold and silver might lead to a compatibility problem. To address this issue, Au-Ag heterodimeric nanoparticles featuring a charge transfer plasmon resonance are synthesized and utilized as ideal silver-containing materials to uncover the Au-Ag chemical incompatibility. The good colloidal stability of the Au-Ag nanoparticles enables their DNA grafting and DNA-programmable assembly. In addition, the bimetallic nature and the charge transfer plasmon resonance of the Au-Ag nanoparticles facilitate the observation of a silver etching reaction in the presence of gold nanoparticles. The chemical source of such an incompatibility is then proposed, which involves several “solid-solution-solid” pathways capable of promoting a “silver-transfer” to the gold surface. Such understanding finally leads to strategies toward improved gold-silver chemical compatibility. This work paves a way to the construction of heterogeneous nanoassemblies involving silver and other noble metals toward sensing, catalysis, light harvesting, and optoelectronics.
