Ag(TCNQ) nanostructures with wire-, belt- and flower-like morphologies have been prepared on Si wafers by a vapor-transport reaction between silver and TCNQ without additional catalyst. The morphologies were characterized by SEM and optical microscopy. The composition of nanowires was tested by Raman spectroscopy. The growth mechanism of different morphologies based on the VS mechanism is emphasized.
