Solvent-triggered reversible interconversion of all-nitrogen-donor-protected silver nanoclusters and their responsive optical properties

Noble metal nanoclusters are commonly protected by thiolate, phosphine, or alkynyl ligands. Here, the authors synthesize two homoleptic amido-protected silver clusters, whose structures interconvert easily with changes of solvent due to the coordination flexibility and diverse binding modes of the n...
