We observed an unusual reversible aggregation process showing stimuli-responsive structural dynamics and optical changes attributed to the formation of a sandwich-like Au3-Ag-Au3 cluster, which can be synthesized through both solution mechanochemical methods. Unlike many other heteronuclear gold-silver clusters, affinity two cyclic Au3 complexes Ag(I) ion is solely bound by ligand unsupported Au-Ag bonding. The assembly/disassembly behavior, further forming nanoaggregates, controllable...

Abstract To accelerate the pace in field of photothermal therapy (PTT), it is urged to develop easily accessible agents (PTAs) showing high conversion efficiency (PCE). As a proof‐of‐concept, hereby conventional strategy presented prepare donor–acceptor (D–A) structured PTAs through cycloaddition‐retroelectrocyclization ( CA–RE ) reaction, and resultant give PCE upon near‐infrared (NIR) irradiation. By joint experimental‐theoretical study, these exhibit prominent D–A structure with strong...
