• can be ascribed to the RalkylSi(OMe)(OSi)2 unit resulting from the partially incomplete incorporation of the precursor’s anchoring group into the framework [20]. When studying the fluorescence properties of the materials obtained before and after the post-sol–gel modification, an instantaneous shift

• than 300 atoms (≤2 nm) [2]. This confirms that the synthesis using metal–organic precursors and an organic polymer as a matrix allows the growth of clusters with narrow size distributions and magnetic properties similar to those of free clusters, since the number of anchoring sites of the polymer on
