Influence of Surface Protonation–Deprotonation Stimuli on the Chiroptical Responses of (R)-/(S)-Mercaptosuccinic Acid-protected Gold Nanoclusters

Racemic mixtures of mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) are optically resolved to obtain enantiopure (R)-/(S)-MSA, and the (R)-/(S)-MSA-protected gold nanoclusters are synthesized. Circular dichroism respo...
