Abstract:In the realm of nanomaterials, atomically precise quasimolecular gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) play a prime role due to their unique, stable, and highly tunable optical properties. They are extensively structureengineered for modulation of surface electronic states toward long wavelength photoluminescence, particularly in the NIR-II (1000 to 1700 nm) window. Contrast agents with NIR-II emission can potentially transform optical imaging in terms of higher spatial resolution, deeper tissue penetration, and reduced t… Show more
