Optimization of Thiolate Stabilized Gold Nanoclusters For Near Infrared Emission in Subcellular Imaging
Monothiolate protected gold nanoclusters with near IR luminescence underwent a five-to-ten fold enhancement of quantum efficiency by heating in the presence of excess thiols. Two monothiolate nanoclusters, mercaptosuccinic acid and tiopronin, were shown to benefit from this procedure. Emission maxim...
