An atomically precise silver nanocluster for artificial light-harvesting system through supramolecular functionalization.

ABSTRACT: Designing an artificial light-harvesting system (LHS) with high energy transfer efficiency has been a challenging task. Herein, we report an atom-precise silver nanocluster (Ag NC) as a unique platform to fabricate the artificial LHS. A facile one-pot synthesis of [Cl@Ag₁₆S(S-Adm)₈(CF₃COO)₅(DMF)₃(H₂O)₂]·DMF (Ag₁₆) NC by using a bulky adamantanethiolate ligand is portrayed here which, in turn, alleviates the issues related to the smaller NC core designed from a highly steric environment. The surface molecular motion of this NC extends the non-radiative relaxation rate which is strategically restricted by a recognition site-specific supramolecular adduct with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) that results in the gene
