1. A method for producing ligand-modified gold clusters (AuCs), said method comprising:
providing an HAuCl4 solution;
sequentially adding an acidic solution and a first ligand solution into the HAuCl4 solution to form a first mixture solution; wherein the molar ratio between the first ligand and HAuCl4 is in the range of 1:1 to 20:1;
adding NaBH4 solution into the first mixture solution to form a second mixture solution; wherein the molar ratio between NaBH4 and HAuCl4 is in the range of 1:1 to 10:1;
adding an aprotic polar solvent to the second mixture solution to terminate reaction and to obtain a third mixture solution;
centrifuging the third mixture solution to collect solid sediment;
dissolving the collected solid sediment in a second ligand solution to obtain a fourth mixture solution and maintaining the fourth mixture solution for a period; wherein the molar ratio between the second ligand and HAuCl4 is in the range of 1:1 to 20:1;
centrifuging the fourth mixture solution to obtain supernatant; and
dialyzing the supernatant in a dialysis bag with a predetermined cut-off molecular size.
