“…Kurdekar et al developed a fluorescent gold nanocluster immunoassay (AuNCIA) for early and sensitive detection of human immune deficiency virus (HIV) infection in vitro and HIV-infected patient samples [85]. For this study, glutathionecapped AuNCs were coupled with streptavidin (Au-SA) using EDS/NHS coupling.…”

Luminescent nanomaterials have emerged as attractive candidates for sensing, catalysis and bioimaging applications in recent years. For practical use in bioimaging, nanomaterials with high photoluminescence, quantum yield, photostability and large Stokes shifts are needed. While offering high photoluminescence and quantum yield, semiconductor quantum dots suffer from toxicity and are susceptible to oxidation. In this context, atomically precise gold nanoclusters protected by thiol monolayers have emerged as a new class of luminescent nanomaterials. Low toxicity, bioavailability, photostability as well as tunable size, composition, and optoelectronic properties make them suitable for bioimaging and biosensing applications. In this review, an overview of the sensing of pathogens, and of in vitro and in vivo bioimaging using luminescent gold nanoclusters along with the limitations with selected examples are discussed.

“…For example, SPR disappears when the size goes down below 2 nm due to quantum confinement effect and quantization of the conduction band (7). Unlike the conventional, plasmonic gold nanoparticles of facecentered cubic structure, the ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (socalled nanoclusters) with discrete energy levels exhibit unique geometrical (8)(9)(10) and electronic structures (11)(12)(13), and novel properties for applications in biomedicine (14,15), optoelectronics (16,17), and catalysis (18,19).…”

Research on plasmons of gold nanoparticles has gained broad interest in nanoscience. However, ultrasmall sizes near the metal-to-nonmetal transition regime have not been explored until recently due to major synthetic difficulties. Herein, intriguing electron dynamics in this size regime is observed in atomically precise Au333(SR)79 nanoparticles. Femtosecond transient-absorption spectroscopy reveals an unprecedented relaxation process of 4–5 ps—a fast phonon–phonon relaxation process, together with electron–phonon coupling (∼1 ps) and normal phonon–phonon coupling (>100 ps) processes. Three types of –R capped Au333(SR)79 all exhibit two plasmon-bleaching signals independent of the –R group as well as solvent, indicating plasmon splitting and quantum effect in the ultrasmall core of Au333(SR)79. This work is expected to stimulate future work on the transition-size regime of nanometals and discovery of behavior of nascent plasmons.

An Ultrastable Matryoshka [Hf₁₃] Nanocluster as a Luminescent Sensor for Concentrated Alkali and Acid

Stable metal clusters that can resist both highly concentrated acid and alkali are unknown. Herein, we present a discrete neutral cluster, Hf13(μ4‐O)8(OCH3)36 (1), which features extraordinary chemical stability by preserving its crystalline state in concentrated aqueous solutions of both acid (10 m HNO3) and alkali (20 m boiling NaOH). Importantly, 1 can serve as a luminescent probe for detecting both concentrated alkali (20 m NaOH) and strong acid (1 m HNO3) with high selectivity and repeatability. DFT studies of the electronic structure and bonding revealed that 1 has an extremely large HOMO–LUMO gap due to strong d π–p π bonding that accounts for the ultrahigh stability.
