Circularly polarized luminescence in chiral silver nanoclusters

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Jan 19;53(7):1269-1272. doi: 10.1039/c6cc09476g.

Abstract

Silver nanoclusters (NCs) capped with enantiomeric bidentate ligands exhibited mirror image circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectra with an anisotropy factor of 0.2%. Chirality in the ligand staples is most likely responsible for the induction of optical activity in the emissive state.
