Turn-on ratiometric Ag <sup>+</sup> sensing aids <i>in situ</i> synthesis of NIR emissive silver nanoclusters
The donor-acceptor probe based on <i>N</i>-ethylcarbazole and thiobarbituric acid senses Ag<sup>+</sup> ions through turn-on, ratiometric fluorescence, and the binding results in the reduction of Ag<sup>+</sup> into luminescent silver nanoclusters. The nanoclusters have tunable emission in the visible-NIR region and can be formed <i>in situ</i>, without requiring additional reducing agents.
