Ligand-Driven Supramolecular Assembly of Gold Nanoclusters with Ultralong Lifetime and Large Stokes Shift for High-Efficiency Electrochemiluminescence.
Achieving high-efficiency electrochemiluminescence (ECL) with an ultralong lifetime and a large Stokes shift in a single emitter is highly desirable yet challenging. Herein, we report the supramolecular assembly of gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) protected by a custom-designed ligand, 1-(4-carboxyphenyl)-5-mercapto-1H-tetra...
