The solvent effect on the luminescence of silver nanoclusters.

The solvent effect on the luminescence properties of highly stable water-soluble silver nanoclusters is discussed in this study. The polymer nanosphere templates swollen by organic solvents lead to the changes in the surrounding environments of silver nanoclusters, thus resulting in a significant influence on their luminescence.
