Modulating the carbon tails of ligands on AuCu <sub>14</sub> nanoclusters enables the transition from single to dual emission
By modulating the carbon tails of surface ligands, we engineered AuCu<sub>14</sub> nanoclusters from single to dual emission. Structural analysis showed that smaller ligands extend the metal core, activating dual emission and increasing the quantum yield. One cluster served as a rapid Ag<sup>+</sup> sensor, providing a model for smart luminescent materials.
