organic chemistry - Effect of reduction potential on particle size of chemically precipitated silver particles



Is there no mathematical relationship between redox potential and particle size saying that an $X$ potential should yield a $Y$ particle size? Right now its general that large redox potential results in smaller particles, but I want to know if, for example, for silver particles I use $\ce{AgNO3}$ with glucose reducing agent and say the redox potential is $\pu{0.33V}$, what the ballpark for the particle size should be based on that potential (assuming $\mathrm{pH}$ does not change)?
