Abstract
AbstractConstruction of white‐light emitters is of great importance in practical applications but is challenging for metal nanoclusters. Herein, arginine (Arg)‐mediated copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) assemblies with white‐light emission (WLE) are reported for the first time. The multidentate ligand, Arg, not only effectively tailors the high stability and locally‐excited emission (LES) of aqueous phase Cu NCs, but also bridges 1‐naphthalenol methylcarbamate (NMC) to generate a blue emitter via through‐space interactions (TSIs), resulting in a stable mixed light. Density functional theory calculation and mass spectrum further confirm that Arg can allow for the formation of strong hydrogen‐bonds with the ligand 2,4‐diaminotoluene of Cu NCs, and formation of TSIs‐based complexes with NMC. More importantly, pure white‐light emission (WLE) with Commission Internationale de L’Eclairagecoordination (0.30, 0.31) is observed by regulating the ratio between Arg and the interfacial ligand of NMC. The findings not only provide a new perspective for the construction of WLE emitters via interface modification chemistry but also open a window to gain insight into the mechanism of interface engineering.
