We have synthesized two copper nanoclusters (NCs) with a protection of the same ligand diphenylphosphino-2-pyridine (C₁₇H₁₄NP, dppy for short), formulated as Cu₄(dppy)₄Cl₂ and Cu₂₁(dppy)₁₀, respectively. The former one bears a distorted tetrahedron Cu₄ core with its six edges fully protected by chlorine and dppy ligands, while the latter presents a symmetric Cu₂₁ core on which ten dppy molecules function as monolayer protection via well-organized monodentate or bidentate coordination. Interestingly, the Cu₄(dppy)₄Cl₂ cluster exhibits a strong yellow emission at ~577 nm, while Cu₂₁(dppy)₁₀ displays dual emissions in purple (~368 nm) and green (~516 nm) regions respectively. In combination with TD-DFT calculations, we demonstrate the origin of altered emissions and unique stability of the two copper nanoclusters pertaining to the ligand coordination and metallic superatomic states.
