Metal nanoclusters (MNCs) are ultrasmall metal‐organic aggregates, composed of a metal
core less than 2 nm and a protecting shell of metal‐organic ligand motifs. The controlled …

Recently, metal nanoclusters (MNCs) emerged as a new class of luminescent materials and
have attracted tremendous interest in the area of luminescence-related applications due to …

Ligand protected noble metal nanoparticles are excellent building blocks for colloidal self‐
assembly. Metal nanoparticle self‐assembly offers routes for a wide range of multifunctional …

Heterogeneous cells are the main feature of tumors with unique genetic and phenotypic
characteristics, which can stimulate differentially the progression, metastasis, and drug …

Ultrasmall gold nanoclusters (Au NCs), with a particle size of∼ 1 nm, have recently emerged
as a promising class of nanoparticles, due to their well-defined molecular formulae and …

Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) have been extensively developed as contrast agents, theranostic
platforms, and probes for molecular imaging. This popularity has yielded a large number of …

Abstract Near-infrared II (NIR-II) imaging at 1100–1700 nm supports deep tissue
penetration, low auto-fluorescence interruption, and high imaging resolution due to …

We synthesized a generation of water-soluble, atomically precise gold nanoclusters (Au
NCs) with anisotropic surface containing a short dithiol pegylated chain (AuMHA/TDT). The …

A simple NIR-II emitting water-soluble system has been developed and applied in vitro and
in vivo. In vitro, the fluorophore quickly accumulated in 2D and 3D cell cultures and rapidly …

Nanomedicine has grown structurally complex in order to perform multiple tasks at a time.
However, their unsatisfied reliability, uniformity and reproducibility account for the high rates …
