英文摘要 | Discrete electron energy levels emerge in ultra small metal clusters due to a strong quantum confinement effect, resulting in some intriguing, unique and superior features such as photoluminescence and catalytic activity. In the present work, silane-capped copper clusters were synthesized by a facile one-pot synthetic protocol for the first time. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry data shows that the metal core of the cluster is mainly composed of 4-5 copper atoms, and the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy indicate that the surface of the as-synthesized copper clusters is capped by a silane stabilizer. These few-atom copper clusters exhibit a dual-peak fluorescence feature, giving emission bands centered at 410 nm and 580 nm, respectively. In addition, the copper clusters also show excellent performance in chemo-sensing of hydrogen peroxide, linearly responding in a concentration range of 5-250 mu M. More interestingly, a photo-reversible color switching system based on the redox reaction of methylene blue was built up by employing these Cu clusters as a catalyst. Reduction of methylene blue by Cu clusters' chemo-catalysis at ambient conditions and oxidation of leucomethylene blue by those clusters' photocatalysis under UV light irradiation lead to a recyclable colorless-blue switching effect within similar to 3 minutes. The present work proves that the versatile silane-capped Cu clusters possess both molecular and semiconductor like properties, holding great promise in optical and catalytic application fields. |
