Maturing conditions of bimetallic nanocomposites as a new factor influencing Au–Ag synergism and impact of Cu(II) and/or Fe(III) on luminescence by Veronika Svačinová, Tomáš Pluháček, Martin Petr, Karolina Siskova

“…The stability of luminescent signal of these GSNCs was tested in the presence of an excess (to 20 mM) of Cu(II) and/or Fe(III) ions (crucial cofactors in living systems). The same metallic ion concentration caused different extents of GSNC luminescence quenching, for which a plausible reasoning is suggested.…”
