Abstract
Copper nanoclusters exhibit unique structural features and their molecular assembly results in diverse photoluminescence properties. In this study, we present ligand-dependent multicolor luminescence observed in a Cu14 cluster, primarily protected by ortho-carborane-9,12-dithiol (o-CBDT), featuring an octahedral Cu6 inner kernel enveloped by eight isolated copper atoms. The outer layer of the metal kernel consists of six bidentate o-CBDT ligands, in which carborane backbones are connected through μ3-sulphide linkages. The initially prepared Cu14 cluster, solely protected by six o-CBDT ligands, did not crystallize in its native form. However, in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), the cluster crystallized along with six DMF molecules. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) revealed that the DMF molecules were directly coordinated to six of the eight capping Cu atoms, while oxygen atoms were bound to the two remaining Cu apices in antipodal positions. Efficient tailoring of the cluster surface with DMF shifted its luminescence from yellow to bright red. Luminescence decay profiles showed fluorescence emission for these clusters, originating from the singlet states. Additionally, we synthesized microcrystalline fibers with a one-dimensional assembly of DMF-appended Cu14 clusters and bidentate DPPE linkers. These fibers exhibited bright greenish-yellow phosphorescence emission, originating from the triplet state, indicating the drastic surface tailoring effect of secondary ligands. Theoretical calculations provided insights into the electronic energy levels and associated electronic transitions for these clusters. This work demonstrated dynamic tuning of the emissive excited states of copper nanoclusters through the efficient engineering of ligands.

Rival JV, Nonappa, Shibu ES. The interplay of chromophore-spacer length in light-induced gold nanocluster self-assembly. NANOSCALE 2024; 16:14302-14309.

Abstract
The light-induced self-assembly of chromophore-tethered precision nanoclusters (NCs) has recently received significant attention due to their facile control over structure, function, and reversibility under ambient conditions. However, the magnitude of assembly depends on the photoswitching efficiency, chemical structure, and proximity of the chromophore to the NC surface. Herein, using azobenzene alkyl monothiol (AMT)-capped gold NCs with two different spacer lengths (denoted as C3-NC and C9-NC), we show that reversible cis ↔ trans isomerization efficiency can be readily tuned to control the self-assembly kinetics of NCs. Irrespective of the chain length, the time required for trans-to-cis (140 s) and cis-to-trans (260 s) isomerization of individual C3-AMT and C9-AMT is identical in dichloromethane solution. When a similar experiment was performed using a solution of C3-NCs and C9-NCs, it resulted in self-assembled disc-like superstructures. Notably, the trans-to-cis photoswitching in C3-NC could reach only 65% even after 460 seconds of irradiation. On the other hand, C9-NC completed this process within 160 seconds of irradiation. The low photoswitching efficiency of the C3-NC analog is due to the short and rigid spacer length of C3-AMT ligands, which are in close proximity to the NC surface, resulting in steric hindrance experienced at the NC-chromophore interface. Importantly, the slow photoswitching in C3-NCs helps isolate and investigate the intermediates of assembly. Using high-resolution electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and 3D reconstruction, we show that the discs are made up of densely packed arrays of NCs. The prolonged illumination of C9-NCs results in a chain-like assembly due to the dipolar attraction between the previously assembled superstructures. The efficient photoisomerization of chromophores located away from the nanocluster surface has been identified as the key element to speed up the light-induced assembly in chromophore-tethered nanoclusters. Such information will be useful while developing nanoscale photoswitches for electrochemistry, biosensors, and electronic devices.

Abstract
Two polyhedral silver-thiolate clusters, [S@Ag16(Tab)10(MeCN)8](PF6)14 (Ag16) and [Ag12(Tab)6(DMF)12](PF6)12 (Ag12), were synthesized by using electroneutral Tab species as protective ligands (Tab=4-(trimethylammonio)benzenethiolate, DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide, MeCN=acetonitrile). Ag16 has a decahedral shape composed of eight pentagon {Ag5} units and two square {Ag4} units. The structure of Ag12 is a cuboctahedron, a classical Archimedean structure composed of six triangular faces and eight square faces. The former configuration is discovered in silver-thiolate cluster for the first time, possibly benefited from the more flexible coordination between the Tab ligand and Ag+ facilitated by the electropositive -N(CH3)3 + substituent group. Third-order nonlinear optical studies show that both clusters in DMF exhibit reverse saturate absorption response under the irradiation of 532 nm laser.

Abstract
The assembly of metal nanoclusters (NCs) into crystalline lattice structures is of interest in the development of NC-based functional materials. Here we demonstrate that the assembled structures of tri-anionic tetrahedral symmetric [Ag29(BDT)12]3- (Ag29 NC, BDT: 1,3-benzenedithiol) NCs are controlled into a polyethylene-like zigzag chain and a "poly-ring-fused-cyclohexane"-like honeycomb arrangement through ionic interactions with alkali metal cations such as K+ and Cs+. The site-specific binding of alkali metal ions on the tetrahedrally arranged binding sites of Ag29 NCs successfully connects the adjacent NCs into various packing modes. The number and type of bridges between NCs determine the Ag29 NC packing structures, which are affected by the solvent species, enabling the transformation of packing modes in the single-crystalline state. The photoluminescence (PL) properties of the crystals responded to the packing modes of the NCs in terms of anisotropy and bridge linkage style inducing a varied degree of relaxation of the excited state depending on the relocation mobility of alkali metal ions in the crystals.

Abstract
The dual emission (DE) characteristics of atomically precise copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) are of significant theoretical and practical interest. Despite this, the underlying mechanism driving DE in Cu NCs remains elusive, primarily due to the complexities of excited state processes. Herein, a novel [Cu4(PPh3)4(C≡C-p-NH2C6H4)3]PF6 (Cu4) NC, shielded by alkynyl and exhibiting DE, was synthesized. Hydrostatic pressure was applied to Cu4, for the first time, to investigate the mechanism of DE. With increasing pressure, the higher-energy emission peak of Cu4 gradually disappeared, leaving the lower-energy emission peak as the dominant emission. Additionally, the Cu4 crystal exhibited notable piezochromism transitioning from cyan to orange. Angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction results revealed that the reduced inter-cluster distances under pressure brought the peripheral ligands closer, leading to the formation of new C-H⋅⋅⋅N and N-H⋅⋅⋅N hydrogen bonds in Cu4. It is proposed that these strengthened hydrogen bond interactions limit the ligands' vibration, resulting in the vanishing of the higher-energy peak. In situ high-pressure Raman and vibrationally resolved emission spectra demonstrated that the benzene ring C=C stretching vibration is the structural source of the DE in Cu4.

Abstract
Surface ligands play crucial roles in modifying the properties of metal nanoclusters and stabilizing atomically precise structures, and also serve as vital linkers for constructing cluster-based coordination polymers. In this study, we present the results of the solvothermal synthesis of eight novel copper alkynyl clusters incorporating pyridine ligands using a one-pot method. The resulting compounds underwent characterization through elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). Our observations revealed that distinct pyridine ligands with varying lengths and coordination sites exert significant influence on the structure and dimensionality of the clusters. The structural diversity of these clusters led to the formation of one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), or dimer arrangements linked by seven pyridine bridging ligands. Remarkably, these complexes exhibited unique UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence properties, which were influenced by the specific bridging ligand and structural framework. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated the capability of the conjugated system in the pyridine ligand to impact the band gap of clusters. This study not only unveils the inherent structural diversity in coordination polymers based on copper alkynyl clusters but also offers valuable insights into harnessing ligand engineering for structural and property modulation.

Abstract
Three novel bismuth-organic compounds, with the general formula [Bi2(HPDC)2(PDC)2]·(arene)·2H2O (H2PDC = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid; arene = pyrene, naphthalene, and azulene), that consist of neutral dinuclear Bi-pyridinedicarboxylate complexes and outer coordination sphere arene molecules were synthesized and structurally characterized. The structures of all three phases exhibit strong π-π stacking interactions between the Bi-bound PDC/HPDC and outer sphere organic molecules; these interactions effectively sandwich the arene molecules between bismuth complexes and thereby prevent molecular vibrations. Upon UV irradiation, the compounds containing pyrene and naphthalene displayed red and green emission, respectively, with quantum yields of 1.3(2) and 30.8(4)%. The emission was found to originate from the T1 → S0 transition of the corresponding arene and result in phosphorescence characteristic of the arene employed. By comparison, the azulene-containing compound displayed very weak blue-purple phosphorescence of unknown origin and is a rare example of T2 → S0 emission from azulene. The pyrene- and naphthalene-containing compounds both display radioluminescence, with intensities of 11 and 38% relative to bismuth germanate, respectively. Collectively, these results provide further insights into the structure-property relationships that underpin luminescence from Bi-based materials and highlight the utility of Bi-organic molecules in the realization of organic emission.

Abstract
Room temperature phosphorescent (RTP) carbon dot (CD) materials have been widely used in various fields, but it is difficult to achieve a long lifetime, high stability and easy synthesis. In particular, realizing the phosphorescence emission of CDs using a metal oxide (MO) matrix is a challenge. Here, solid gels are synthesized via in situ hydrolysis, and then RTP CDs are synthesized based on a SiO2 matrix (CDs@SiO2) and hybridized with a MO matrix (CDs@SiO2-MO) by high-temperature calcination. Among the materials synthesized, Al2O3 matrix RTP CDs (CDs@SiO2-Al2O3) have a long phosphorescence lifetime of 689 ms and can exhibit yellow-green light visible to the naked eye for 9 s after the UV light (365 nm) is turned off. Compared with the green phosphorescence of CDs@SiO2, the yellow-green phosphorescence lifetime of CDs@SiO2-Al2O3 is enhanced by 420 ms. In addition, CDs@SiO2-Al2O3 maintains good stability of phosphorescence emission in water, strongly oxidizing solutions and organic solvents. As a result, CDs@SiO2-Al2O3 can be applied to the field of information encryption and security anti-counterfeiting, and this work provides a new, easy and efficient synthesis method for MO as an RTP CD matrix.

Abstract
In the dynamic landscape of nanotechnology, atomically precise silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) have emerged as a novel and promising category of materials with their fascinating properties and enormous potential. However, recent research endeavors have surged towards stabilizing Ag-based NCs, leading to innovative strategies like connecting cluster nodes with organic linkers to construct hierarchical structures, thus forming Ag-based cluster-assembled materials (CAMs). This approach not only enhances structural stability, but also unveils unprecedented opportunities for CAMs, overcoming the limitations of individual Ag NCs. In this context, this review delves into the captivating realm of atomically precise nitrogen-based ligand bonded Ag(I)-based CAMs, providing insights into synthetic strategies, structure-property relationships, and diverse applications. We navigate the challenges and advancements in integrating Ag(I) cluster nodes, bound by argentophilic interactions, into highly connected periodic frameworks with different dimensionalities using nitrogen-based linkers. Despite the inherent diversity among cluster nodes, Ag(I) CAMs demonstrate promising potential in sensing, catalysis, bio-imaging, and device fabrication, which all are discussed in this review. Therefore, gaining insight into the silver nanocluster assembly process will offer valuable information, which can enlighten the readers on the design and advancement of Ag(I) CAMs for state-of-the-art applications.

Abstract
The exploration of individual nanoclusters is rapidly advancing, despite stability concerns. To address this challenge, the assembly of cluster nodes through linker molecules has been successfully implemented. However, the linking of the cluster nodes itself introduces a multitude of possibilities, especially when additional factors come into play. While this method proves effective in enhancing material stability, the specific reasons behind its success remain elusive. In our laboratory, we have undertaken extensive studies on Ag cluster-assembled materials. So, here our goal is to establish a model system that allows for the discernment of various factors, eliminating unnecessary complexities during the linking approach. So, we hope that the systematic discourse presented in here will contribute significantly to future endeavors, helping to set clear priorities, and provide solutions to concerns that arise when working with a model system.

Abstract
Controlled synthesis of metal clusters through minor changes in surface ligands holds significant interest because the corresponding entities serve as ideal models for investigating the ligand environment's stereochemical and electronic contributions that impact the corresponding structures and properties of metal clusters. In this work, we obtained two Ag(0)-containing nanoclusters (Ag17 and Ag32) with near-infrared emissions by regulating phosphine auxiliary ligands. Ag17 and Ag32 bear similar shells wherein Ag17 features a trigonal bipyramid Ag5 kernel while Ag32 has a bi-icosahedral interpenetrating an Ag20 kernel. Ag17 and Ag32 showed a near-infrared emission (NIR) of around 830 nm. Benefiting from the rigid structure, Ag17 displayed a more intense near-infrared emission than Ag32. This work provides new insight into the construction of novel superatomic silver nanoclusters by regulating phosphine ligands.

Abstract
Upcycling plastic waste into valuable commodity chemicals with clean energy is an appealing strategy for mitigating environmental issues. Polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable plastic that is produced annually in millions of tons, can be chemically recycled to valuable products instead of being degraded to carbon dioxide. Here, we demonstrate an electrochemical reforming of PLA hydrolysate to acetate and acetonate using nickel phosphide nanosheets on nickel foam (Ni2P/NF) as the catalyst. The Ni2P/NF catalyst was synthesized by electrochemical deposition and phosphide treatment and showed excellent catalytic activity and ∼100% Faraday efficiency for electroreforming PLA to acetate and acetonate in an H-cell. Moreover, a stable performance of more than 90% Faraday efficiency for value-added organics was achieved for a duration of 100 h in a flow cell at a current density of 100 mA cm-2 and a potential below 1.5 V vs. RHE. In situ characterization revealed that the catalyst underwent electrochemical reforming during the reaction to produce γ-phase NiOOH with high electrochemical activity. This work introduces a new and green solution for the treatment of waste PLA, presenting a low-cost and highly efficient strategy for electrically reforming plastics.

Abstract
Metal-organic hybrid (MOH) materials with room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) have drawn attention in recent years due to their superior RTP properties of high phosphorescence efficiency and ultralong emission lifetime. Great achievement has been realized in developing MOH materials with high-performance RTP, but a systematic study on MOH materials with RTP feature is lacking. This review highlights recent advances in metal-organic hybrid RTP materials. The molecular packing, the photophysical properties, and their applications of metal-organic hybrid RTP materials are discussed in detail. Metal-organic hybrid RTP materials can be divided into six parts: coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-halide hybrids, organic ionic crystals, organic ionic polymers, and organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites. These RTP materials have been successfully applied in time-resolved data encryption, fingerprint recognition, information logic gates, X-ray imaging, and photomemory. This review not only provides the basic principles of designing RTP metal-organic hybrids, but also propounds the future research prospects of RTP metal-organic hybrids. This review offers many effective strategies for developing metal-organic hybrids with excellent RTP properties, thus satisfying practical applications.

Abstract
A unique assembly of a two-electron superatom, [Ag10{S2P(OiPr)2}8], as a primary building unit in the construction of a supramolecule [Ag10{S2P(OiPr)2}8]2(μ-4,4'-bpy) through a 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bpy) linker is reported. This approach is facilitated by an open site in the structure that allows for effective pairing. The assembled structure demonstrates a minimal solvatochromic shift across organic solvents with variable polarities, highlighting the influence of self-assembly on the photophysical properties of silver nanoclusters.

Abstract
Considering the instability and toxicity of 3D Pb-based perovskite nanocrystals, lead-free low-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have attracted widespread attention as potential substitutes. Herein, two new tin-based 0D halides [H4BAPP]SnBr5·Br and [H4BAPP]SnCl5·Cl·H2O (BAPP = 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine) were synthesized successfully based on [SnX5]3- as an emission center. Typically, [H4BAPP]SnBr5·Br and [H4BAPP]SnCl5·Cl·H2O display broadband yellow and yellow-green light emissions originating from the radiative recombination of self-trapped excitons (STEs). The photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of the two compounds were calculated to be 19.27% and 2.36%, respectively. Furthermore, the excellent chemical and thermal stability and broadband light emissions reveal their potential application in solid-state white lighting diodes.

Abstract
Subnanometric or small metal clusters (SMCs) have been extensively researched due to their unique electronic, optical, catalytic, and magnetic properties, which differ from those of bulk samples. Among the SMCs, silver (Ag) clusters have received significant interest due to their affordability and unique luminescent properties. Currently, two major approaches, gas-phase and liquid-phase synthesis, have been employed to obtain Ag clusters with precise control of size and structure. More recently, attention has been directed toward the utilization of porous crystalline solids such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolites, and porous ionic crystals (PICs) to synthesize and stabilize Ag clusters. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the synthesis, structures, and luminescent properties of Ag clusters in porous crystalline solids.

Abstract
DNA-based assemblies hold immense prospects for antibacterial application, yet are constrained by their poor specificity and deficient antibacterial delivery. Herein, the fabrication of a versatile rolling circle amplification (RCA)-sustained DNA assembly is reported, encoding simultaneously with multivalent aptamers and tandem antibacterial agents, for target-specific and efficient antibacterial application. In the compact RCA-sustained antibacterial platform, the facilely organized multivalent aptamers guarantee the target bacteria-specific delivery of sufficient antibacterial agents which is assembled through DNA-stabilizing silver nanostructures. It is shown that the biocompatible DNA system could enhance bacteria elimination and simultaneously facilitate wound healing in vivo. By virtue of the programmable RCA assembly, the present RCA-sustained system provides a highly modular and scalable approach to design versatile multifunctional therapeutic systems.

Abstract
Integration of CO2 capture capability from simulated flue gas and electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2 RR) active sites into a catalyst is a promising cost-effective strategy for carbon neutrality, but is of great difficulty. Herein, combining the mixed gas breakthrough experiments and eCO2 RR tests, we showed that an Ag12 cluster-based metal-organic framework (1-NH2 , aka Ag12 bpy-NH2 ), simultaneously possessing CO2 capture sites as "CO2 relays" and eCO2 RR active sites, can not only utilize its micropores to efficiently capture CO2 from simulated flue gas (CO2 : N2 =15 : 85, at 298 K), but also catalyze eCO2 RR of the adsorbed CO2 into CO with an ultra-high CO2 conversion of 60 %. More importantly, its eCO2 RR performance (a Faradaic efficiency (CO) of 96 % with a commercial current density of 120 mA cm-2 at a very low cell voltage of -2.3 V for 300 hours and the full-cell energy conversion efficiency of 56 %) under simulated flue gas atmosphere is close to that under 100 % CO2 atmosphere, and higher than those of all reported catalysts at higher potentials under 100 % CO2 atmosphere. This work bridges the gap between CO2 enrichment/capture and eCO2 RR.

Abstract
The ever-increasing demand for accurate, miniaturized, and cost-effective gas sensing systems has eclipsed basic research across many disciplines. Along with the rapid progress in nanotechnology, the latest development in gas sensing technology is dominated by the incorporation of nanomaterials with different properties and structures. Such nanomaterials provide a variety of sensing interfaces operating on different principles ranging from chemiresistive and electrochemical to optical modules. Compared to thick film and bulk structures currently used for gas sensing, nanomaterials are advantageous in terms of surface-to-volume ratio, response time, and power consumption. However, designing nanostructured gas sensors for the marketplace requires understanding of key mechanisms in detecting certain gaseous analytes. Herein, we provide an overview of different sensing modules and nanomaterials under development for sensing critical gases in the mining industry, specifically for health and safety monitoring of mining workers. The interactions between target gas molecules and the sensing interface and strategies to tailor the gas sensing interfacial properties are highlighted throughout the review. Finally, challenges of existing nanomaterial-based sensing systems, directions for future studies, and conclusions are discussed.

Abstract
We have synthesized and characterized a new two-dimensional honeycomb architecture resembling a single-layer of atomically precise silver cluster-assembled material (CAM), [Ag12(StBu)6(CF3COO)6(4,4'-azopyridine)3] (Ag12-azo-bpy). The interlayer noncovalent van der Waals interactions within the single-crystals were successfully disrupted, leading to the creation of this unique structure. The optimized Ag12-azo-bpy CAM demonstrates a valence band that is localized on the Ag12 cluster node situated near the Fermi energy level. This localization induces electron injection from the linker to the cluster node, facilitating efficient charge transportation along the plane. Exploiting this single-layer structure as a distinctive platform for p-type channel material, it was employed in a field-effect transistor configuration. Remarkably, the transistor exhibits a high hole mobility of 1.215 cm2 V-1 s-1 and an impressive ON/OFF current ratio of ∼4500 at room-temperature.

Abstract
The interface microenvironment of doped quantum dots (QDs) is crucial in optimizing the properties associated with the photogenerated excitons. However, the imprecision of QDs' surface structures and compositions impedes a thorough understanding of the modulation mechanism caused by the complex interface microenvironment, particularly distinguishing the contribution of surface dopants from inner ones. Herein, we investigated interface-mediated emission using a unique model of an atomically precise chalcogenide semiconductor nanocluster containing uniform near-surface Mn2+ dopants. Significantly, we discovered that Mn2+ ions can directly transfer charges with hydrogen-bonding-bound electron-rich alkylamines with matched molecular configurations and electronic structures at the interface. This work provides a new pathway, the use of atomically precise nanoclusters, for analyzing and enhancing the interface-dependent properties of various doped QDs, including chalcogenides and perovskites.

Abstract
Although the C-H···O interaction is an essential component in determining the molecular packing in solids and the properties in supramolecular chemistry, it presents a significant challenge when trying to use it in the crystal engineering of complex metallosupramolecules, even though it is a relatively weak supramolecular force. The first pair of high-nuclearity silver-cluster-based one-dimensional (1D) polymorphs built from supramolecular synthon [W10O32@Ag48(CyS)24(NO3)16]·4NO3 (Cy = cyclohexyl) bridged by four grouped inorganic NO3- ligands is initially synthesized as a mixed phase and further individually crystallized as a pure phase by virtue of tuning intermolecular C-H···O interaction through altering the composition ratio of ternary solvent system. Increasing highly polar and hydrogen-bonding methanol strengthens the solvation effect reflected by the change of coordination orientation of surface NO3- ligands, which dominates the packing of the 1D chains in the crystal lattice, resulting in the crystallization of polymorphs from tetragonal to monoclinic. The two crystalline forms can also be reversibly transformed to each other in an appropriate solvent system. Correspondingly, the two polymorphs display distinct temperature-dependent photoluminescence behaviors, which are ascribed to the variation of noncovalent interchain C-H···O interactions along with the temperature. More importantly, benefiting from the suppression of fluorescence, both polymorphs offer excellent photothermal conversion properties which were further applied to remote-controlled laser ignition. These findings may open more avenues for the application of solvent-mediated intermolecular interaction in controlling the molecule arrangement as well as the optical properties.

Abstract
Chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are usually endowed by chiral linkers and/or guests. The strategy using chiral secondary building units in MOFs for solving the trade-off of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)-active materials, high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) and high dissymmetry factors (|glum |) has not been demonstrated. This work directionally assembles predesigned chiral silver clusters with ACQ linkers through reticular chemistry. The nanoscale chirality of the cluster transmits through MOF's framework, where the linkers are arranged in a quasi-parallel manner and are efficiently isolated and rigidified. Consequently, this backbone of chiral cluster-based MOFs demonstrates superb CPL, high PLQYs of 50.3%, and |glum | of 1.2 × 10-2 . Crystallographic analyses and DFT calculations show the quasi-parallel arrangement manners of emitting linkers leading to a large angle between the electric and magnetic transition dipole moments, boosting CPL response. As compared, an ion-pair-direct assembly without interactions between linkers induces one-ninth |glum | and one-sixth PLQY values, further highlighting the merits of directional arrangement in reticular nets. In addition, a prototype CPL switching fabricated by a chiral framework is controlled through alternating ultraviolet and visible light. This work is expected to inspire the development of reticular chemistry for high-performance chiroptical materials.

Abstract
The assembly of supertetrahedral chalcogenolate clusters (SCCs) and multifunctional organic linkers could lead to the formation of tunable structures and synergistic properties. Two SCC-based assembled materials (SCCAM-1 and -2) constructed by a triangular chromophore ligand, tris(4-pyridylphenyl)amine, were successfully synthesized and characterized. The SCCAMs demonstrate unusually long-lived afterglow at low temperatures (83 K) and efficient activities for the photocatalytic degradation of organic dye in water.

Abstract
Novel optical gas-sensing materials for Au nanoparticle (NP)-modified ZnO nanorod (NR) arrays were fabricated using hydrothermal synthesis and magnetron sputtering on Si substrates. The optical performance of ZnO NR can be strongly modulated by the annealing temperature and Au sputtering time. With exposure to trace quantities of oxygen, the ultraviolet (UV) emission of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Au/ZnO samples at ~390 nm showed a large variation in intensity. Based on this mechanism, ZnO NR based oxygen gas sensing via PL spectra variation demonstrated a wide linear detection range of 10-100%, a high response value, and a 1% oxygen content sensitivity detection limit at 225 °C. This outstanding optical oxygen-sensing performance can be attributed to the large surface area to volume ratio, high crystal quality, and high UV emission efficiency of the Au NP-modified ZnO NR arrays. Density functional theory (DFT) simulation results confirmed that after the Au NPs modified the surface of the ZnO NR, the charge at the interface changed, and the structure of Au/ZnO had the lowest adsorption energy for oxygen molecules. These results suggest that Au NP-modified ZnO NR are promising for high-performance optical gas-sensing applications.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-type metal nanoclusters (NCs) represent an innovative type of luminescent metal NCs whose aggregates exhibit superior performance over that of individuals, attracting wide attention over the past decade. Here, we give a concise overview of the progress made in this area, from design strategies to applications. The representative design strategies, including solvent-induction, cation-induction, crystallization-induction, pH-induction, ligand inheritance, surface constraint, and minerals- and MOF-confinement, are first discussed. We then present the typical practical applications of AIE-type metal NCs in the various sectors of bioimaging, biological diagnosis and therapy (e.g., antibacterial agents, cancer radiotherapy), light-emitting diodes (LEDs), detection assays, and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). To this end, we present our viewpoints on the promises and challenges of AIE-type metal NCs, which may shed light on the design of highly luminescent metal NCs, stimulating new vitality and serving as a continuous boom for the metal NC community in the future.

Abstract
As a new type of inorganic-organic hybrid semiconductor, quantum-confined atomically precise metal nanoclusters (MNCs) have been widely applied in the fields of chemical sensing, optical imaging, biomedicine and catalysis. Herein, we successfully design and fabricate the first example of MNC-based spin valves (SVs) that exhibit remarkable magnetoresistance (MR) value up to 1.6 % even at room temperature (300 K). The concomitant photoresponse of MNC-based SVs unambiguously confirms that the spin-polarized electron transmission takes place across the MNC interlayer. Furthermore, the spin-dependent transport property of MNC-based SVs is largely varied by changing the atomic structure of MNCs. Both experimental proofs and quantum chemistry calculations reveal that the atomic structure-discriminative spin transport behavior is attributed to the distinct spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect of MNCs.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based optical nanoprobes for luminescence and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications have been receiving tremendous attention. Every element in the MOF structure, including the metal nodes, the organic linkers, and the guest molecules, can be used as a source to build single/multi-emission signals for the intended analytical purposes. For SERS applications, the MOF can not only be used directly as a SERS substrate, but can also improve the stability and reproducibility of the metal-based substrates. Additionally, the porosity and large specific surface area give MOF a sieving effect and target molecule enrichment ability, both of which are helpful for improving detection selectivity and sensitivity. This mini-review summarizes the advances of MOF-based optical detection methods, including luminescence and SERS, and also provides perspectives on future efforts.

Abstract
Despite the excellent luminescent properties of lanthanide clusters (LnCs), their suprastructures that inherit their characteristic luminescent properties are scarcely reported. Herein, novel and highly luminescent suprastructures are synthesized via a two-step assembly method to incorporate LnCs in covalent organic frameworks (COFs). COFs are pre-synthesized and decorated with rigid anchoring groups on their nanochannel walls, which provide one-dimensional confined spaces for the subsequent in situ assembly of luminescent LnCs. The confined LnCs are termed nanoparticles (NPs) to distinguish them from the pure LnCs. Secondary micropores with predictable sizes are successfully formed between the walls of the nanochannels and the orderly aligned NPs therein. By using a small organic ligand that can efficiently sensitize Ln(iii) cations in the assembly processes, the obtained composites show high quantum yields above 20%. The fluorescence can even be effectively maintained across nine pH units. The secondary micropores further enable the unambiguous discrimination of six methinehalides and ultrasensitive detection of uranyl ions. This study provides a new type of luminescent material that has potential for sensing and light emitting.

Abstract
Fluorescence sensing can not only identify a target substrate qualitatively but also achieve the purpose of quantitative detection through the change of the fluorescence signal. It has the advantages of immense sensitivity, rapid response, and excellent selectivity. The proposed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) concept solves the problem of the fluorescence of traditional fluorescent molecules becoming weak or quenched in high concentration or aggregated state conditions. Schiff base fluorescent probes have the advantages of simple synthesis, low toxicity, and easy design. They are often used for the detection of various substances. In this review we cover late developments in Schiff base compounds with AIE characteristics working as fluorescence sensors.

Abstract
Colorimetric sensors have been widely used for centuries across diverse fields, thanks to their easy operation and uncompromisingly high sensitivity with no need for electricity. However, it is still a great challenge for conventional chromogenic systems to perform multiple measurements meanwhile maintaining high robustness. Here, we reported that carbon nitrides (CNs), the raw materials that are abundant, structure-tunable, and stable semiconductors with photoelectron storage capability, can be developed as a chromogenic system for colorimetric sensors. Beyond conventional metal oxides that only demonstrated a single blue-color switch after photoelectron storage, CN exhibited a multicolor switch under identical conditions owing to the unusual multiple photoelectron storage pathways. Mechanism studies revealed cyano and carbonyl groups in CN crucially elongated the centroid distance of electrons/holes, which exclusively stabilized the specific excited states that have different light absorption; meanwhile, the counter cations strengthened these processes. As a result, O2, a proof-of-concept analyte, was quantitatively detected by the CN-derived colorimetric sensor, showing high reversibility in hundreds of cycles and adaptable sensitivity/detection range, outperforming most reported and commercial oxygen sensors. These intriguing features of CN are highly envisioned for the next generation of colorimetric sensors, especially in developing countries or fieldworks, to improve the detection reliability and lower the sensing cost.

Abstract
The increasing degradation of ecosystems due to heavy metal residues has led to environment and food contamination, prompting the development of convenient platforms for monitoring heavy metals. Here, a new dual-emission fluorescent sensor CuNCs@Tb@UiO-66-(COOH)2 for the detection of copper ions (Cu2+ ) has been synthesized by one-pot encapsulation of Tb (III) and glutathione-stabilized copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) UiO-66-(COOH)2 . In this ratiometric sensor, the fluorescence intensity of Tb3+ decreased significantly upon the addition of Cu2+ , while that of CuNCs showed good stability, together with an apparent color change. Therefore, ratiometric fluorescence detection of Cu2+ can be accomplished by measuring the ratio of the fluorescence intensity at the 450 nm (F450 ) wavelength of CuNCs to the 548 nm (F548 ) emission of Tb3+ in the fluorescence spectra of the CuNCs@Tb@UiO-66-(COOH)2 suspension. Moreover, the obtained fluorescent probe shows good results in the detection of actual samples. This work can provide the basis of method for the exploration of ratiometric fluorescence and visual sensors of trace pollutants analysis in complicated samples.

Abstract
In this work we introduce a new series of ratiometric oxygen sensors based on phosphorescent cyclometalated iridium centers partnered with organic coumarin fluorophores. Three different cyclometalating ligands and two different pyridyl-containing coumarin types were used to prepare six target complexes with tunable excited-state energies. Three of the complexes display dual emission, with fluorescence arising from the coumarin ligand, and phosphorescence from either the cyclometalated iridium center or the coumarin. These dual-emitting complexes function as ratiometric oxygen sensors, with the phosphorescence quenched under O2 while fluorescence is unaffected. The use of blue-fluorescent coumarins results in good signal resolution between fluorescence and phosphorescence. Moreover, the sensitivity and dynamic range, measured with Stern-Volmer analysis, can be tuned two orders of magnitude by virtue of our ability to synthetically control the triplet excited-state ordering. The complex with cyclometalated iridium 3MLCT phosphorescence operates under hyperoxic conditions, whereas the two complexes with coumarin-centered phosphorescence are sensitive to very low levels of O2 and function as hypoxic sensors.

Abstract
Metal precursors employed in the bottom-up synthesis of metal nanoclusters (NCs) are of great importance in directing their composition and geometrical structure. In this work, a silver nanocluster co-protected by phosphine and thiolate, namely, [Ag39(PFBT)24(TPP)8]2- (Ag39, PFBT = pentafluorobenzenethiol, TPP = triphenylphosphine), was isolated and structurally characterized. It adopts a three-layered Ag13@Ag18@Ag8S24P8 core-shell structure. The Ag13@Ag18 kernel is unusual in multilayer noble metal NCs. By introducing a copper precursor in the synthesis, a bimetallic nanocluster [Ag37Cu2(PFBT)24(TPP)8]2- (Ag37Cu2) with an identical structure to Ag39 apart from two outer Ag atoms being substituted by Cu atoms was obtained. Astoundingly, the Cu precursor used in the synthesis was found to be critical in determining the final structure. The alteration of the Cu precursor led to the cocrystallization of the above alloy nanocluster with a Ag14 nanocluster, namely, [Ag37Cu2(PFBT)24(TPP)8]2-·[Ag14(PFBT)6(TPP)8] (Ag37Cu2·Ag14). The electronic structure analyzed by theoretical calculation reveals that Ag39 is a 17-electron open-shell superatom. The optical absorption of Ag39, Ag37Cu2, and Ag37Cu2·Ag14 was compared and studied in detail. This work not only enriches the family of alloy metallic nanoclusters but also provides a metal NC-based cocrystal platform for in-depth study of its crystal growth and photophysical property.

Abstract
Developing universal stimuli-responsive materials capable of emitting a broad spectrum of colors is highly desirable. Herein, we deliberately grafted a conformation-adaptable organic chromophore into the established coordination space of a flexible metal-organic framework (MOF). In terms of the coupled structural transformations and the space confinement, the chromophore in the MOF matrix underwent well-regulated conformational changes under physical and chemical stimuli, simultaneously displaying thermo-, piezo-, and solvato-fluoro-chromism with color tunability over the visible range. Owing to the resilient nature and the reduced dimensionality of the selected coordination space, all three color modulations behaved in a sensitive and self-reversible manner, each following a linear correlation of the emission maximum with stimulus. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction of the variable-temperature structures and solvent-inclusion crystals elucidated the intricate color varying mechanisms.

Abstract
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) switches have attracted widespread attention due to their potential applications in advanced information technologies. However, the design and fabrication of solid-state multiple-responsive CPL switches remain challenging. Here, through self-assembly of chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), a pair of crystalline enantiomeric (P)-(+)/(M)-(-)-EuMOF⊃MAPbX3 (MA = CH3 NH3 + , X = Cl- , Br- , I- ) adducts is prepared, where the achiral MAPbBr3 perovskite NCs embedded into chiral MOFs inherit the chirality of host MOFs by host-guest EuBr and PbO coordination bonds, which is demonstrated by synchrotron-radiation-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The chiral adducts show enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), good thermal stability of CPL in air, and photoswitchable CPL properties upon altering different UV irradiation. Based on two chiral emission centers and their different characteristics, reversible CPL switches are realized upon a diversity of external stimuli, for example, chemicals (water /CH3 NH3 Br solution) or temperatures (room temperature/high temperature). Benefiting from the extraordinary stimuli-responsive and highly reversible switchable CPL, multiple information encryptions and decryptions integrated with CPL, together with a chiroptical logic gate are successfully designed. This work opens a new avenue to generally fabricate solid-state CPL composite materials and develops new applications based on switchable CPL.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide broad prospects for the development of new photothermal conversion materials, while their design and synthesis remain challenging. A new Zn-MOF (1) containing both tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) as an electron donor and naphthalene diimide (NDI) as an electron acceptor was constructed by using a space limiting effect. The material exhibited wide absorption peaks in the near-infrared region, indicating that there was strong charge transfer interaction between the TTF and NDI units and providing the possibility of photothermal conversion. 1 shows efficient near-infrared photothermal conversion performance. Under 808 nm laser (0.4 W cm-2) illumination, the temperature of 1 increased rapidly from room temperature to 250 °C, with good thermal stability and cycle durability. This work provides an efficient strategy for promising materials in photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Studies on self-assembly of metal nanoclusters (MNCs) are an emerging field of research owing to their significant optical properties and potential applications in many areas. Fabricating the desired self-assembly structure for specific implementation has always been challenging in nanotechnology. The building blocks organize themselves into a hierarchical structure with a high order of directional control in the self-assembly process. An overview of the recent achievements in the self-assembly chemistry of MNCs is summarized in this review article. Here, we investigate the underlying mechanism for the self-assembly structures, and analysis reveals that van der Waals forces, electrostatic interaction, metallophilic interaction, and amphiphilicity are the crucial parameters. In addition, we discuss the principles of template-mediated interaction and the effect of external stimuli on assembly formation in detail. We also focus on the structural correlation of the assemblies with their photophysical properties. A deep perception of the self-assembly mechanism and the degree of interactions on the excited state dynamics is provided for the future synthesis of customizable MNCs with promising applications.

Abstract
Atomically precise metal nanoclusters with specific chemical compositions have become a popular research topic due to their precise structures, attractive properties, and wide range of applications in various fields. Currently, among more than 100 reported metal nanoclusters with precise formulas, 38-atom coinage metal nanoclusters stand out due to their unique structural diversities, such as face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) arrangements. Among them, the formation of the metal cores includes vertex-sharing, face-fusion, and FCC cubes fusion. Due to their geometrical features, 38-atom coinage metal nanoclusters exhibit attractive properties, making them an ideal model for exploring structure-property relationships. Therefore, 38-atom coinage metal nanoclusters are a universal key to the treasure trove of nanoclusters, which can open almost all fields and are of great research significance. This paper focuses on the structure of 38-atom coinage metal nanoclusters and reviews the preparation and crystallization methods, excellent properties, and practical applications. Finally, future research prospects and development opportunities are provided.
