In a control experiment we prepared the colloid in very carefully controlled conditions under an Ar atmosphere and added the ligand in a drybox. Refluxing this mixture did not show the formation of any wires. Addition of a little water (10 μL) to this mixture, followed by reflux, immediately led to the formation of wires, signifying the importance of water/moisture in this reaction.
