title: Visible light induced synthesis of fluorescent silver clusters in reverse micelles.
abstract: A light-induced reverse micelle mediated method was developed for the preparation of stable Ag clusters in high yield. The clusters exhibit a molecule-like UV-Vis spectrum consisting of five absorption bands, emit red fluorescence and have chiroptical properties.
