The layer-by-layer assembly of silver nanoclusters with 3,3′-dithiodipropionic acid (DTDPA) as spacers was prepared through self-assembly on a gold foil and has been characterized by cyclic voltammetric and AFM techniques. The DTDPA molecules acting as spacers between the layers of silver serve as molecular interconnects for the four layers prepared in this work. The organization of layers was found to decrease with an increase in the number of layers. The layer-by-layer assembly of silver clusters motivated us to prepare silver nanowires stabilized by the bifunctional molecules DTDPA through template synthesis using cellulose nitrate membranes. The nanostructures formed by this method were characterized by SEM, TEM, AFM, FTIR, CV, and photoluminescence studies. It is observed that the DTDPA molecules, instead of forming molecular interconnects, protect the structures by self-assembling themselves along the edges of the nanostructures. The concept of self-assembly protecting the nanostructures is demonstrated in this work.
