Abstract
In article number e202401361, Mary Sajini Devadas and co-workers report the synthesis of the novel Pt-doped Au11 nanocluster (PtAu10(PPh3)7Br3). The prototypical halide- and phosphine-ligated Au11 cluster displays no measurable photoluminescence; the addition of the central Pt dopant expands the HOMO-LUMO band gap resulting in photoluminescence from the cluster (Φ = 1.88%). This work highlights rationally guided methods for inducing photoluminescence via band-gap engineering methods.
期刊介绍:
Chemistry—An Asian Journal is an international high-impact journal for chemistry in its broadest sense. The journal covers all aspects of chemistry from biochemistry through organic and inorganic chemistry to physical chemistry, including interdisciplinary topics.
Chemistry—An Asian Journal publishes Full Papers, Communications, and Focus Reviews.
A professional editorial team headed by Dr. Theresa Kueckmann and an Editorial Board (headed by Professor Susumu Kitagawa) ensure the highest quality of the peer-review process, the contents and the production of the journal.
Chemistry—An Asian Journal is published on behalf of the Asian Chemical Editorial Society (ACES), an association of numerous Asian chemical societies, and supported by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh, German Chemical Society), ChemPubSoc Europe, and the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS).
