Electrostatic bridge-induced aggregation of silver nanoclusters for turn-on Mn2+ detection and luminescent film fabrication.
In this work, red-fluorescent silver nanoclusters (MMTA@Ag NCs) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties were synthesized via a facile one-pot strategy at room temperature using 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5-thiazoleacetic acid (MMTA) as the capping ligand. The as-prepared Ag NCs initially exhibited weak fluorescence...
