(PET= 2-phenylethanethiolate) nanocluster (NC). The Au42 (PET) 32 NC exhibits dual
emission at 875 and 1040 nm, which are revealed to be fluorescence and
phosphorescence, respectively. The emission quantum yield (QY) of Au42 (PET) 32 in
dichloromethane is 11.9% at room temperature in air, which is quite rare for thiolate-
protected Au NCs. When Au42 (PET) 32 NCs are embedded in polystyrene films (solid …
