In control experiments it is observed that neither of nucleosides (A, G, C, and U) and nucleotides (AMP, GMP, CMP, UMP) (0.016 g/100 mL each) nor their equimolar mixtures (0.004 g/100 mL each) were effective in stabilizing the precursor PbS particles under similar experimental conditions as employed in the present work. It resulted in the formation of dull brown solutions, which precipitated within a few minutes.
