The world on a plate : In addition to their role as a capping agent that selectively binds to the {111} faces of silver, the carboxylate group can coordinate with Ag + ions to form complexes and thus substantially reduce the reduction rate of Ag + ions, leading to the formation of silver seeds with both twin planes and stacking faults.
