If a nanoparticle formation takes place between a compound X (reducing & capping agent) : Metal, at 1000 µM : 500 µM then shouldn't that same reaction take place at 100 µM : 50 µM ratio?
I cannot observe any color change at the latter ratio for formation of colloidal Nps. Moreover, my Nps formed at first conc are sticking to the sides of the glass test tube despite giving a rose pink hue.
