Silver Nanoclusters with Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Properties [PDF]
ACS OmegaBacterial resistance to antibiotics is a significant threat to global health, and innovative strategies are needed to tackle these bacterial infections. In this study, we used an in vitro bactericidal assay to demonstrate that small silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) coated with 5-mercapto-2-nitrobenzoic acid (MNBA) exhibit bactericidal activity against a ...

Zeolite-Encaged Luminescent Silver Nanoclusters. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2023 Silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) are nanoscale aggregates that possess molecular-like discrete energy levels, resulting in electronic configuration-dependent tunable luminescence spanning the entire visible range. Benefiting from the efficient ion exchange capacity, nanometer dimensional cages, and high thermal and chemical stabilities, zeolites have been ...

Chloride Ligands on DNA-Stabilized Silver Nanoclusters. [PDF]
J Am Chem Soc, 2023 DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters (AgN-DNAs) are known to have one or two DNA oligomer ligands per nanocluster. Here, we present the first evidence that AgN-DNA species can possess additional chloride ligands that lead to increased stability in biologically relevant concentrations of chloride.

A route to metalloligands consolidated silver nanoclusters by grafting thiacalix[4]arene onto polyoxovanadates [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Metalloligands provide a potent strategy for manipulating the surface metal arrangements of metal nanoclusters, but their synthesis and subsequent installation onto metal nanoclusters remains a significant challenge. Herein, two atomically precise silver

On the Chemical Stability of DNA-Stabilized Silver Nanoclusters. [PDF]
ACS OmegaDNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) are atomically precise emitters, whose chemical stability is commonly defined by their stable optical response over time. Here, two isotopically pure versions (107Ag and 109Ag) of DNA2-[Ag16Cl2]8+ were mixed, and we demonstrate for the first time for DNA-AgNCs that silver atoms are continuously exchanged ...

Assembly of Atomically Precise Silver Nanoclusters into Nanocluster-Based Frameworks [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2019 Here, we demonstrate an approach to synthesizing and structurally characterizing three atomically precise anion-templated silver thiolate nanoclusters, two of which form one- and two-dimensional structural frameworks composed of bipyridine-linked nanocluster nodes (referred to as nanocluster-based frameworks, NCFs). We describe the critical role of the
