Photochemical reduction of complexed Ag + ions to stable complexed Ag atoms can be accomplished with the aid of the heterocycle (1) , which combines the properties of a crown ether and of a surfactant. (1) Ag + is formed spontaneously from (1) and AgNO 3 ; reduction with visible light requires a cyanine dye as sensitizer.
