Abstract

A method to partially dissolve cellulose by an inorganic solvent, followed by in situ chemical reactions performed on the solvent, is described for the first time. The resulting composite formed a stable and luminescent Cu(I) cluster-functionalized cellulose paper with improved homogeneity in aqueous and alcoholic environments. The general synthesis methodology offers broad scope for further investigations.
