Self-Assembled Metal Nanoclusters: Driving Forces and Structural Correlation with Optical Properties

Résumé

Studies on self-assembly of metal nanoclusters (MNCs) are an emerging field of research owing to their significant optical properties and potential applications in many areas. Fabricating the desired self-assembly structure for specific implementation has always been challenging in nanotechnology. The building blocks organize themselves into a hierarchical structure with a high order of directional control in the self-assembly process. An overview of the recent achievements in the self-assembly chemistry of MNCs is summarized in this review article. Here, we investigate the underlying mechanism for the self-assembly structures, and analysis reveals that van der Waals forces, electrostatic interaction, metallophilic interaction, and amphiphilicity are the crucial parameters. In addition, we discuss the principles of template-mediated interaction and the effect of external stimuli on assembly formation in detail. We also focus on the structural correlation of the assemblies with their photophysical properties. A deep perception of the self-assembly mechanism and the degree of interactions on the excited state dynamics is provided for the future synthesis of customizable MNCs with promising applications.
