Abstract
In this article, the main focus is to employ a new synthetic strategy to prepare atomically precise Ag nanoclusters (NCs) and unveil the critical role played by the solvents in the excited state dynamics of Ag NCs. The compositional analysis confirms the formula of the nanoclusters as Ag16(PDT)8(PPh3)4 (Ag-PDT NCs). These NCs showed a sharp absorption band at 525 nm and a comparatively broad absorption band at 633 nm. The emission maximum was 630 nm with a quantum yield (QY) of 0.23%. Three-component relaxation dynamics was retrieved from global analysis and described as core relaxation (664 fs), core-to-surface state relaxation (500 ps), and ground state relaxation (>1 ns) for Ag NCs in the DCM solvent. The time constants are slightly higher at 1.25 ps, 624.25 ps, and >1 ns for Ag NCs in the DMF solvent because of the less effective charge separation. The high QY in DMF follows this low charge separation (0.23% vs. 0.63%). The straight-chain dithiol capping agent (with lower electron density than an electron-rich aromatic ring) is mainly responsible for this less effective charge separation. Finding the pivotal role of the solvent in NC chemistry will help to characterize it thoroughly and produce a strategy for precise applications in various fields.

Abstract
Modulating the assembly pathway is an indispensable strategy for optimizing the performance of optical materials. However, implementing this strategy is nontrivial for metal nanocluster building blocks, due to the limited functional modification of nanoclusters and complexity of their emission mechanism. In this report, we demonstrate that a gold nanocluster modified by 4,6-diamino-2-pyrimidinethiol (DPT-AuNCs) self-assembles into two distinct aggregation structures in methanol (MeOH)/water mixed solvent, thus exhibiting pathway complexity. Kinetic studies show that DPT-AuNCs firstly assembles into non-luminescent nanofibers (kinetically controlled), which further transforms into strongly luminescent microflowers (thermodynamically controlled). In-depth analysis of the assembly mechanism reveals that the transformation of aggregation structures involves the disassembly of nanofibers and a subsequent nucleation-growth process. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and infrared (IR) measurements reveal that inter-cluster hydrogen bonding bridged by solvent molecules and C-H⋅⋅⋅π interaction are the key factors for emission enhancement. The photoluminescent property of DPT-AuNCs can be controlled by varying the cosolvent in water, enabling DPT-AuNCs to distinguish different kind of alcohols, particularly the isomerism n-propanol (NPA) and isopropanol (IPA). Additionally, the addition of seeds effectively regulate the assembly kinetics of DPT-AuNCs. This study advances our understanding of assembly pathways and improves the luminescent performance of nanoclusters (NCs).

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
Tailoring the hierarchical self-assembly of metal nanoclusters (NCs) is an emergent area of research owing to their precise structure and flexible surface environment. Herein, the morphological evolution from rods to platelets to ribbon-like structures through self-assembly of Cu7 NCs is dictated by the positional isomerism of the surface capping ligand, dimethylbenzenethiol (DMBT). Besides cuprophilic interaction, the interplay between π-π stacking and agostic interaction (Cu⋯H-C) directs the inter-NC organization into different ordered architectures. The excited-state relaxation dynamics of the red phosphorescent assembled structures has been correlated with their compactness and the degree of bonding interactions present.

Abstract
Ligand protected noble metal nanoparticles are excellent building blocks for colloidal self-assembly. Metal nanoparticle self-assembly offers routes for a wide range of multifunctional nanomaterials with enhanced optoelectronic properties. The emergence of atomically precise monolayer thiol-protected noble metal nanoclusters has overcome numerous challenges such as uncontrolled aggregation, polydispersity, and directionalities faced in plasmonic nanoparticle self-assemblies. Because of their well-defined molecular compositions, enhanced stability, and diverse surface functionalities, nanoclusters offer an excellent platform for developing colloidal superstructures via the self-assembly driven by surface ligands and metal cores. More importantly, recent reports have also revealed the hierarchical structural complexity of several nanoclusters. In this review, the formulation and periodic self-assembly of different noble metal nanoclusters are focused upon. Further, self-assembly induced amplification of physicochemical properties, and their potential applications in molecular recognition, sensing, gas storage, device fabrication, bioimaging, therapeutics, and catalysis are discussed. The topics covered in this review are extensively associated with state-of-the-art achievements in the field of precision noble metal nanoclusters.

Abstract
Amphiphilicity is an excellent physicochemical property, which is yet to be explored from traditional surfactants to nanoparticles. This article shows that the amphiphilicity of copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) can be readily tuned by electrostatic interactions with cationic surfactants and cetyltrimethylammonium cations (CTA+) with counterions Br-, Cl-, and C7H8O3S-. Due to the role of surface ligands, the complexes of glutathione-capped CuNCs (GSH-CuNCs) and the surfactants exhibit good amphiphilicity, which enables them to self-assemble like a molecular amphiphile. This could significantly increase the utility of metal nanoclusters in basic and applied research. As the concentration of the surfactant changes, the aggregates change from nanoparticles to network-like structures. After the formation of supramolecular self-assemblies by hydrophobic interactions, the enhancement of fluorescence intensity was observed, which can be ascribed to the suppression of intramolecular vibrations based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and combined with the compactness of GSH-CuNCs in self-assemblies. Our study provides a facile way to generate solid fluorescent materials with excellent fluorescence performance, which may find applications in light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

Abstract
Crystal phase, an intrinsic characteristic of crystalline materials, is one of the key parameters to determine their physicochemical properties. Recently, great progress has been made in the synthesis of nanomaterials with unconventional phases that are different from their thermodynamically stable bulk counterparts via various synthetic methods. A nanocrystalline material can also be viewed as an assembly of atoms with long-range order. When larger entities, such as nanoclusters, nanoparticles, and microparticles, are used as building blocks, supercrystalline materials with rich phases are obtained, some of which even have no analogues in the atomic and molecular crystals. The unconventional phases of nanocrystalline and supercrystalline materials endow them with distinctive properties as compared to their conventional counterparts. This Review highlights the state-of-the-art progress of nanocrystalline and supercrystalline materials with unconventional phases constructed from multiscale building blocks, including atoms, nanoclusters, spherical and anisotropic nanoparticles, and microparticles. Emerging strategies for engineering their crystal phases are introduced, with highlights on the governing parameters that are essential for the formation of unconventional phases. Phase-dependent properties and applications of nanocrystalline and supercrystalline materials are summarized. Finally, major challenges and opportunities in future research directions are proposed.

Abstract
Copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) have attracted a surge of interest in fluorescent sensors as their outstanding physicochemical and optical properties. However, most of the reports have focused on single-signal fluorescent sensors, which are susceptible to background interferences and affect accuracy of the results. Herein, we constructed a facile ratiometric fluorescent sensor for monitoring ethanol based on Cu NCs with tunable dual emission. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-modified Cu NCs were simply prepared in water, which exhibit ratiometric dual emission, including a strong green emission at 520 nm and a weak blue emission at 450 nm. The PVP-Cu NCs in water with strong green emission display monodisperse state due to the formation of hydration shell around Cu NCs. In ethanol where the hydration shell is destructed, Cu NCs tend to aggregate and show strong blue emission. This emission shift might attribute to the enhancement of Cu-Cu metallophilic interaction with the aggregation of Cu NCs, which induces the excited-state level increasing. Thus, a ratiometric fluorescent probe for ethanol based on the PVP-Cu NCs is fabricated, which possesses rapid response (<1 min), and realize full-range detection from 0 to 100%. In addition, this ratiometric probe is successfully applied to determine the alcohol strength of alcohol beverages, demonstrating the great potential in practical application.

Abstract
Fluorescent Cu nanoclusters (NCs) have shown potential in lighting and display, because Cu is cheap and easily available. Despite recent successes in improving the emission intensity of Cu NCs on the basis of aggregation-induced emission enhancement and self-assembly-induced emission enhancement, the difficulty in tuning the emission color sheds the doubt for achieving high-performance white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). In this work, halogen effects are utilized to tune the emission color of Cu nanocluster self-assembly nanosheets (NSASs). By altering the adsorbed halogens from Cl, Br to I, the emission peak of Cu NSASs is tunable from 495 to 674 nm. In this context, halogen atoms are capable of improving the charge transfer and molecular spin coupling of Cu NCs, and thereby narrow the S0T1 gap and facilitate the intersystem crossing of excitons from a singlet to triplet state. As a result, emission spectra redshift and the population of the exiton recombination via the triplet state pathway is increased, which leads to the improvement of the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). By simply introducing and/or mixing different types of cuprous halides, Cu nanocluster co-assembly nanosheets (NCASs) with full-color emission are obtained. The as-prepared Cu NSASs and NCASs are further employed to fabricate monochrome and white LEDs.

Abstract
In the synthesis of metal nanoclusters (NCs), small molecules are widely used as capping ligands and reducing agents. However, metal NCs are usually sensitive to solvents and aerobic atmosphere and are also prone to oxidation; thus, their photonic properties deteriorate. In this work, 4-aminothiophenol (PATP) was used as a ligand to prepare Cu NCs and their fluorescence, morphology, and electronic states were characterized. The as-prepared Cu NCs could be dispersed in aqueous media and their fluorescence was sensitive to Hg2+. It was found that after mixing Cu NCs with 2,3-dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) prepared via oxidation by NaIO4, the fluorescence stability of Cu NCs could be enhanced from overnight to 7 days. This might be due to the reaction of the amine group of PATP with the aldehyde group of DAC to form Schiff bases, which are then reduced to form more stable C-N bonds via reduction by NaBH4. Therefore, Cu NCs were attached to a rigid skeleton and their stability increased. Furthermore, the composite of Cu NCs mixed with DAC could be used to prepare colorimetric cards for the rapid detection of Hg2+ with high sensitivity.

Abstract
The pollution of heavy metal increases greatly accompanying by the development of industries. So, it is very important to build up a quick and reliable technique for detection of heavy metal ions. In this work, we developed a simple and convenient method for ratiometric and visual detection of Cr2O72- ions and Cd2+ ions. We utilized glutathione as raw material to prepare cyan-emitting carbon dots (GSH@CDs). The GSH@CDs were further used as the template to prepare carbon dots-stabilized copper nanoclusters (GSH@CDs-Cu NCs) that displayed two well-separated emission peaks respectively at 450 nm and 750 nm. The GSH@CDs-Cu NCs can be applied for the ratiometric and visual detection of Cr2O72- and Cd2+ ions based on the fluorescence quenching or enhancement of GSH@CDs-Cu NCs at 750 nm. A linear range of 2-40 μmol L-1 with a detection limit of 0.9 μmol L-1 for Cr2O72- ions, and a linear range of 0-20 μmol L-1 with a detection limit of 0.6 μmol L-1 for Cd2+ ions were achieved based on this method. The fluorescent test strips for Cr2O72- ions were successfully prepared based on GSH@CDs-Cu NCs. Moreover, the GSH@CDs-Cu NCs were successfully applied to determine Cr2O72- and Cd2+ ions in real samples with promising results.

Abstract
Recently, metal nanoclusters (MNCs) emerged as a new class of luminescent materials and have attracted tremendous interest in the area of luminescence-related applications due to their excellent luminous properties (good photostability, large Stokes shift) and inherent good biocompatibility. However, the origin of photoluminescence (PL) of MNCs is still not fully understood, which has limited their practical application. In this mini-review, focusing on the origin of the photoemission emission of MNCs, we simply review the evolution of luminescent mechanism models of MNCs, from the pure metal-centered quantum confinement mechanics to ligand-centered p band intermediate state (PBIS) model via a transitional ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT or LMMCT) mechanism as a compromise model.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (NCs) are ultra-small nanoparticles intermediate in size between small molecule complexes and nanoparticles. NCs with tunable surface functionality feature unique physical and chemical properties, however these properties are frequently compromised by the presence of undesired components such as excess ligands or mixtures of NCs. In a typical synthesis process, different NCs can be formed with varying numbers of metal atoms and/or ligands, and even NCs with the same number of metal atoms and ligands can have different spatial structures. The separation of pure NCs is important because different species have distinct optical and catalytic behavior. However, NCs can be difficult to purify or separate for a range of reasons. In this review, we discuss established and emerging approaches for NC purification/separation, with a focus on choosing the appropriate method depending on NC and application.

Abstract
AbstractThe availability of a range of excited states has endowed low dimensional quantum nanostructures with interesting luminescence properties. However, the origin of photoluminescence emission is still not fully understood, which has limited its practical application. Here we judiciously manipulate the delicate surface ligand interactions at the nanoscale interface of a single metal nanocluster, the superlattice, and mesoporous materials. The resulting interplay of various noncovalent interactions leads to a precise modulation of emission colors and quantum yield. A new p-band state, resulting from the strong overlapping of p orbitals of the heteroatoms (O, N, and S) bearing on the targeting ligands though space interactions, is identified as a dark state to activate the triplet state of the surface aggregated chromophores. The UV-Visible spectra calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) are in quantitative agreement with the experimental adsorption spectra. The energy level of the p-band center is very sensitive to the local proximity ligand chromophores at heterogeneous interfaces.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is an intriguing strategy to enhance the luminescence of metal nanoclusters (NCs). However, the morphologies of aggregated NCs are often irregular and inhomogeneous, leading to instability and poor color purity of the aggregations, which greatly limit their further potential in optical applications. Inspired by self-assembly techniques, manipulating metal NCs into well-defined architectures has achieved success. The self-assembled metal NCs often exhibit enhancing emission stability and intensity compared to the individually or randomly aggregated ones. Meanwhile, the emission color of metal NCs becomes tunable. In this review, we summarize the synthetic strategies involved in self-assembly of metal NCs for the first time. For each synthetic strategy, we describe the self-assembly mechanisms involved and the dependence of optical properties on the self-assembly. Finally, we outline the current challenges to and perspectives on the development of this area.

Abstract
Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have gained much attention as light-emitting materials for light-conversion nano-phosphors and luminescent solar concentrators. Unfortunately, those CQDs involve toxic heavy metals and frequently need to be synthesized in the hazardous organic solvent. In addition, they suffer from severe solid-state aggregation-induced self-quenching and reabsorption losses. To address these issues, here we prepare Zn-coordinated glutathione-stabilized gold-nanocluster (Zn-GSH-AuNCs) assemblies without involving heavy metals and organic solvent. Unlike GSH-AuNCs dispersed in an aqueous solution with poor photoluminescence quantum yields (PL-QYs, typically ~1%), those Zn-GSH-AuNCs powders hold high solid-state PL-QYs up to 40 ± 5% in the aggregated state. Such Zn-induced coordination-enhanced emission (CEE) is attributed to the combined effects of suppressed non-radiative relaxation and enhanced charge-transfer interaction. In addition, they also exhibit a large Stokes shift, thus mitigating both aggregation-induced self-quenching and reabsorption losses. Motivated by these photophysical properties, we demonstrated white-light emission from all non-toxic, aqueous-synthesis nano-materials.
