Scheme 1. Simplified Reaction Mechanism of Ag+ Reduction with Glc (A) Used as Reducing Agent26,28−30 alongside the Reduction Potential of the Reaction43,44 and Proposed Reaction Mechanisms with GlcA (B) and NAG (C) instead of Glc, Explaining the Observed Relative Reaction Rates: Glc > NAG > GlcA.

Scheme 1

The latter triggers no NP formation.
