The interplay of chromophore–spacer length in light-induced gold nanocluster self-assembly

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: -NCs results in a chain-like assembly due to the dipolar attraction between the previously assembled superstructures. The efficient photoisomerization of chromophores located away from the nanocluster surface has been identified as the key element to speed up the light-induced assembly in chromophore-tethered nanoclusters. Such information will be useful while developing nanoscale photoswitches for electrochemistry, biosensors, and electronic devices.
