Abstract:
Polynuclear silver clusters are described that unexpectedly transform from cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTCs) upon reacting with σ-donating phenylacetylene, featuring a noria-like conformation. The introduction of foreign copper ions leads to isomorphic bimetallic Ag/Cu clusters, with a boost in the photoluminescence quantum yield relative to the original silver clusters.

Photoluminescence offers a wide range of applications due to its inherent sensitivity and selectivity. This technique allows for both direct and indirect analyses of the analyte. Direct quantitative analysis is possible when the analyte exhibits a favorable quantum yield for fluorescence or phosphorescence. However, an indirect analysis may be feasible if the analyte is not fluorescent or phosphorescent, or if the quantum yield is unfavorable. Indirect methods include reacting the analyte with...

Photoluminescence is a process where a molecule absorbs light energy and re-emits it in the form of light. This phenomenon occurs when a substance absorbs photons, promoting its electrons to higher energy level excited states, followed by a relaxation process in which the electrons return to their original ground state energy levels and emit light. Photoluminescence is widely observed in various materials, including semiconductors, and organic and inorganic compounds.
