title: The isomeric effect of mercaptobenzoic acids on the preparation and fluorescence properties of copper nanoclusters.
abstract: A one-pot approach has been developed to synthesize copper nanocluster (Cu NC) aggregates from copper nitrate and mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA). Cu NCs prepared separately in the three isomers of MBA exhibit different physical and optical properties.
