Abstract

A facile boiling water synthesis protocol has been developed to synthesize thiolated Ag nanoclusters with a core–shell Ag(0)@Ag(I)–thiolate structure, which was formed through condensation of Ag(I)–thiolate complexes on the surface of an in situ formed Ag(0) core. The as-synthesized thiolated Ag nanoclusters feature strong luminescence via aggregation-induced-emission (AIE).
