Thermal Behavior of Selenium-Bridged Copper Clusters

2 Thermal Behavior of Selenium-Bridged Copper Clusters 

In conclusion, each of the copper selenide nanoclusters investigated lose their phosphine ligand shells at temperatures ranging from 60 to 200 °C, with the exact temperature depending on the experimental conditions, the type of phosphine ligand, and the size of the cluster itself.
