Fig. 2: Structure and PL performance of Cu8 and Cu10 clusters.

a Structural anatomy and b total structure of the Cu8 cluster. c Structural anatomy and d total structure of the Cu10 cluster. Color labels: green = Cu; yellow = S; pink = P; gray = C. All H atoms were omitted for clarity. The PL spectra of (e) Cu8 and f Cu10 clusters. Green lines: excitation spectra; blue lines: emission spectra. g Spectral overlap between the excitation spectrum of Cu10 (blue line) and the emission spectrum of Cu8 (red line).
