Abstract
Silver chalcogenolate cluster assembled materials (SCAMs) are a category of promising light‐emitting materials the luminescence of which can be modulated by variation of their building blocks (cluster nodes and organic linkers). The transformation of a singly emissive [Ag12(SBut)8(CF3COO)4(bpy)4]n (Ag12bpy, bpy=4,4′‐bipyridine) into a dual‐emissive [(Ag12(SBut)6(CF3COO)6(bpy)3)]n (Ag12bpy‐2) via cluster‐node isomerization, the critical importance of which was highlighted in dictating the photoluminescence properties of SCAMs. Moreover, the newly obtained Ag12bpy‐2 served to construct visual thermochromic Ag12bpy‐2/NH2 by a mixed‐linker synthesis, together with dichromatic core–shell Ag12bpy‐2@Ag12bpy‐NH2‐2 via solvent‐assisted linker exchange. This work provides insight into the significance of metal arrangement on physical properties of nanoclusters.
