22. To obtain these values, the diameter of 300 silver nanocrystals modified by chemisorbed I and II were determined from a TEM image prepared by evaporation of a chloroformic dispersion of these nanocrystals on a carbon-coated copper grid. It is noted that these nanocrystals show long range ordering, an observation that strongly supports the assertion that these nanocrystals are relatively monodisperse.
23. To obtain these values, a known weight of a sample silver nanocrystals modified by chemisorbed I and II was analyzed for percentage composition by weight of the following elements: C, H, N, and S. Based on the percentage composition by weight of N and S, the numbers of molecules of I and II per nanocrystal of silver were calculated to be 883 and 74, respectively.
24. To obtain these values, the diameter of 170 silver nanocrystals modified by chemisorbed II were determined from a TEM image prepared by evaporation of a chloroformic dispersion of these nanocrystals on a carbon coated copper grid. It is noted that these nanocrystals clearly show long range ordering, an observation that strongly supports the assertion that these nanocrystals are relatively monodisperse.
25. To obtain these values, a known weight of a sample silver nanocrystals modified by chemisorbed II was analyzed for percentage composition by weight of the following elements: C, H, N, and S. Based on the percentage composition by weight of N, the number of molecules of II per nanocrystal of silver was calculated and found to be 1088.

30. In this context we note that the chemical shifts observed initially might be due to changes in the acidity of the deuterated solvents used.
