What is it about?
In the articles I covered mechanistic aspect of nanoparticle growth, the synthesis of optically identical nano-object and the development of synthetic method for the production of enantiomerically pure nanoparticles. For the assembly, innovative directions for the manipulation of nanoparticle position are covered, with particular enphasis on optical trapping and liquid-liquid interphase assembly.

Why is it important?
The field of plasmonics has developed enormously in the last twenty years, but, perhaps unexpectedly, keeps exploring new avenues and direction that can potentially lead plasmonic-based systems and devices to tackle real-society problems in many different fields, from medicine to energy.
Perspectives
I wrote this article building upon what was the subject of my PhD thesis. It is amazing to find how much the field has progressed in only 2 years. This demonstrates how plasmonic chemistry, from the synthesis to the direct self-assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles, is an incredibly active field of research.
