PH guided pathways trigger tailoring of chiral luminescence in enantiomeric gold cluster assemblies.

ABSTRACT: The modulation of chirality has been a subject of scientific research in past decades due to its broad and impactful applications in drug discovery, catalysis, and biotechnology. However, the control of chirality at the nanoscale is challenging and has recently attracted significant attention due to its implications in diverse fields ranging from medicine to catalysis, optoelectronic devices and materials science. While the ground-state chiral modulation has been a topic of investigation in various nanosystems, the manipulation of excited-state chirality remains relatively underexplored. Herein, we report a straightforward approach to modulate and enhance both the ground and excited state chiral anisotropy in a pair of gold clusters, via pH modulations. Gold cluster aggregates synth
