Recent studies on the properties of silver-thiolate nanoclusters

Atom-precise metal nanoclusters have made great progress in the fields of catalysis, medicine and sensing due to their attracting strong photoluminescence, high catalytic performance, and chirality. In the initial stages, technical limitations confined research of silver-thiolate nanoclusters primarily concentrating on structure determination. As technology advanced, scientists have begun to explore the properties of these nanoclusters. There has been significant research focused on studying the photoluminescence properties, chiral properties, and catalytic properties of silver-thiolate nanoclusters. This paper primarily serves to introduce and discuss these properties.
