Lighting up thiolated Au@Ag nanoclusters via aggregation-induced emission.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple strategy has been developed to synthesize highly luminescent thiolated Au@Ag nanoclusters (NCs) by using Ag(i) ions to bridge small Au(i)-thiolate motifs on the weakly luminescent thiolated Au NCs, leading to the formation of large Au(i)/Ag(i)-thiolate motifs on the NC surface and thus generating strong luminescence via aggregation-induced emission.

Boiling water synthesis of ultrastable thiolated silver nanoclusters with aggregation-induced emission.
A facile boiling water synthesis protocol has been developed to synthesize thiolated Ag nanoclusters with a core-shell Ag(0)@Ag(i)-thiolate structure, which was formed through condensation of Ag(i)-thiolate complexes on the surface of an in situ formed Ag(0) core. The as-synthesized thiolated Ag nanoclusters feature strong luminescence via aggregation-induced-emission (AIE).
متن کاملSupramolecular self-assembly of morphology-dependent luminescent Ag nanoclusters.
Self-assembled thiolated Ag nanoclusters (NCs) were facilely synthesized through one-pot microwave-assisted reaction. By the mechanism of aggregation induced emission, the quantum yield of the AgNCs is as high as 25.6%. The as-prepared AgNCs give access to intriguing photophysical features and multicolour emission, which are found to be related to their fascinating supramolecular structures.

The optical spectra of thiolated Au25(SR)18/Au23(SR)16 clusters with different R residues are investigated via TDDFT simulations. Significant enhancements in the optical region and effective electron delocalization are simultaneously achieved by tuning the ligands' steric hindrance and electronic conjugating features, producing a resonance phenomenon between the Au-S core motif and the ligand f...

Here we investigate the photophysical properties of Au(0)@Au(i)-thiolate nanoclusters by controlling the degree of aggregation, and measure electrochemical energy levels to design a metal nanocluster-based thin film LED (MNC-LED) structure. These efforts allow us to implement MNC-LEDs with luminance exceeding 40 cd m(-2) and external quantum efficiency exceeding 0.1% with clearly visible orange...
متن کاملMethionine-Capped Gold Nanoclusters as a Fluorescence-Enhanced Probe for Cadmium(II) Sensing
Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) have been considered as novel heavy metal ions sensors due to their ultrafine size, photo-stability and excellent fluorescent properties. In this study, a green and facile method was developed for the preparation of fluorescent water-soluble gold nanoclusters with methionine as a stabilizer. The nanoclusters emit orange fluorescence with excitation/emission peaks at 4...
