Regularly arranged nanosized metal particles have potential application as quantum dots in nanoelectronics. The synthesis and properties of ligand‐protected metal clusters and colloids as well as their organization in one, two, and three dimensions is reviewed. The Figure is a transmission electron micrograph of a wire of 15 nm gold colloids in a ∼50 nm pore in alumina.
