Precision preparation : A facile, one‐step, polyol protocol has been developed to prepare monodisperse, single‐crystalline Au–Cu bimetallic nanocubes. Through the careful adjustment of the reaction parameters, both the dimensions of the nanocubes (two examples with edge lengths of 23 and 5 nm are shown) and their gold and copper stoichiometry can be controlled.
