Silver nanoclusters have emerged as promising.candidates for optoelectronic applications, but their room-temperature photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) is far from ideal.to access cutting-edge device performance. Herein, two supertetrahedral silver nanoclusters with high PLQY in non-degassed.solution at room temperature were constructed by interiorly.supporting the core with multiple VO43− and E2− anions as.structure-directing agents and exteriorly protecting the core with a.rigid ligand shell of PhC≡C− and Ph2PE2− (E = S, Ag64-S; E = Se,.Ag64-Se). Both clusters have similar outer Ag58 tetrahedral cages.and [Ag6E4@(VO4)4] cores, forming a pair of comparable clusters.to decrypt the origin of such a high PLQY, particularly in Ag64-S,.where the PLQY reached up to 97%. The stronger suppression.effect of inner sulfides for nonradiative decay is critical to boost the PLQY to near unity. Transient absorption spectroscopy is.employed to confirm the phosphorescence nature. The quadruple-capping assembly mechanism involving Ag7 secondary building.units on a Ag36 truncated tetrahedron was also established by collision-induced dissociation studies. This work not only provides a.strategy of core engineering for the controlled syntheses of silver nanoclusters with high PLQY but also deciphers the origin of a.near-unity PLQY, which lays a foundation for fabricating highly phosphorescent silver nanoclusters in the future.
