Ag–Au core–shell nanoprisms were obtained through the deposition of Au atoms over hexadecylamine‐stabilized Ag nanoparticles through the mild decomposition of an organometallic Au I precursor. The effects of the amount of precursor [Au(C 6 F 5 )(tht)] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) added and the reaction time on the size, shape, and composition of the core–shell Ag–Au nanostructures obtained have been studied by TEM, high‐angle annular dark field/scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF‐STEM), EDS, UV/Vis, and 19 F NMR spectroscopic analysis. The anisotropic growth of the prismatic metallic shell and its composition has been controlled through the addition of different amounts of Au I precursor, thus leading to a delicate tuning of the plasmonic properties of these nanostructures.
