A new Ag36 nanocluster with a closed electronic structure and eight valence electrons is reported, which has a similar structure to that of an open-shell Ag34 nanocluster with three valence electrons, except that in the shell two (Ag-PPh3)+ cations replace two S2- anions specifically. The fine structural modulation leads to various levels of activity for singlet oxygen photogeneration due to the distinct optical gaps of the nanoclusters.
