Abstract

A series of water-soluble Au_25–xAg_x nanoclusters (NCs) protected by mono- and bi-thiolate ligands are synthesized via the NaOH-mediated NaBH₄ reduction method. Compositions of both the metal core and the ligand shell can be tailored by varying the feeding ratios of metal precursors and hetero-ligands, further enriching the functionalities of the NCs.
