Recent experimental findings, rapidly accumulating over the past few years, has revealed that in electronic excited states of metal nanoclusters (MNCs) composed noble atoms (e.g., Cu, Ag, or Au), triplet are generated with remarkably high efficiency, exerting a pivotal influence photophysical properties MNCs, notably their photoluminescence characteristics. As result, MNCs increasingly recognized as promising luminescent nanomaterials exhibit room-temperature phosphorescence and thermally activated delayed fluorescence. Furthermore, significance triplet-state-mediated energy transfer charge intermolecular processes is gaining increasing recognition, particularly applications photosensitizers for singlet oxygen organic molecular triplets. This Perspective focuses on recent advances understanding formation photophysics MNCs. Additionally, brief overview provided series studies exploring use sensitizers photon upconversion via triplet-triplet annihilation, future prospects this emerging application discussed.

Due to the significant relationships between structure and properties, controlled construction of atomically precise metal clusters presents both a formidable challenge great importance. The innovative synthesis well-defined silver nanoclusters with near-infrared II (NIR-II) luminescent properties may inspire further exploration functional for bioimaging applications. In this study, we employed multidentate chelating nitrogen ligand 3,5-di(2-pyridyl)pyrazole (Hbpypz) construct three unprecedented nanoclusters: [Ag27(bpypz)14]3+ (Ag27), [Ag62(bpypz)18]6+ (Ag62), [Ag91(bpypz)24]5+ (Ag91). Single-crystal X-ray analysis indicated that these cluster structures stem from Ag13 units, exhibiting cluster-of-cluster configurations. By modulating stoichiometry centers, achieved size growth reversible cluster-to-cluster conversions among nanoclusters. Notably, Ag27 nanocluster exhibits an interesting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) based luminescence in second region demonstrates high catalytic efficiency oxidative coupling benzylamines via singlet oxygen (1O2) oxidation mechanism.

Abstract In the realm of nanomaterials science, precise and controllable synthesis nanoclusters remains a formidable challenge. This study focuses on silver sulfide via halide ion template method, with an in - depth exploration underlying mechanism. By meticulously regulating halogen concentration, reaction solvent, other parameters, diverse array distinct structures has been successfully fabricated characterized at atomic precision level using X-ray single crystal diffraction. The results clearly demonstrate that concentration exerts profound influence structural characteristics clusters. Different ions can trigger formation disparate nucleation sites structures, choice solvent also plays crucial role determining properties
