Nano-is a big prefix-word. Much of contemporary chemistry focuses on small scale
structures, and indeed, molecular science is intrinsically on the nanometer scale. Selecting …

Fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are emerging as novel fluorescent materials and
have attracted more and more attention in the field of biolabeling, biosensing, bioimaging …

Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), with sizes of less than 2 nm, consist of several to hundreds of
gold atoms. AuNCs, protected by templates or ligands, not only have high chemical stability …

Fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have been extensively studied due to their unique
construction and distinctive properties, which place them between single metal atoms and …

The electronic band structure of a material can acquire interesting topological properties in
the presence of a magnetic field or as a result of the spin–orbit coupling,,. We study …

Since many metallic nanostructures with different shapes exhibit unique chemical and
physical properties, a systematic attempt to synthesize these shape-controlled structures for …

We report a spectroscopic and microscopic investigation of the synthesis of gold
nanoparticles (AuNPs) with average sizes of less than 5 nm. The slow reduction and AuNP …

Metallic and semiconducting nanoclusters stabilized by a variety of organic monolayers,
such as thiols, amines, and carboxylic acids, have received considerable attention in the …

Glutathione-capped gold nanoclusters (Au x-GSH NCs) are anchored along with a
sensitizing squaraine dye on a TiO2 surface to evaluate the cosensitizing role of Au x-GSH …

The Brust synthesis of thiolate-protected gold clusters has been modified to produce
identifiable proportions of a hexanethiolate-protected Au225 core nanoparticle that display …
