Metal nanoclusters serve as an emerging class of modular nanomaterials. The
transformation of metal nanoclusters has been fully reflected in their studies from every …

We summarize here the research advances on the reactivity of metal clusters. After a simple
introduction of apparatuses used for gas-phase cluster reactions, we focus on the reactivity …

Probing atomic clusters with magic numbers is of supreme importance but challenging in
cluster science. Pronounced stability of a metal cluster often arises from coincident …

Conspectus The relative role of electronic and geometric effects on the stability of clusters
has been a contentious topic for quite some time, with the focus on electronic structure …

Building metal materials with well-defined components and the monomer-genetic property is
one of the foremost challenges in chemistry and materials science. In recent years, metal …

Clusters that mimic elemental atoms in the periodic table are known as superatoms which
open up a new window to design functional materials and catalysts by atomic construction …

The catalytic conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals is an effective strategy for reducing
its adverse impact on the environment. In this work, the formation of formic acid via CO2 …

The stability of metal clusters is often associated with relatively low energy, highly symmetric
structure, electronic shell closure and chemical reaction inertness, which is tunable by …

Cluster growth reactions in the system [Cu5](Mes) 5+[Al4](Cp*) 4 (Mes= mesitylene, Cp*=
pentamethylcyclopentadiene) were explored and monitored by in situ LIFDI-MS and 1H …

The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide involves the activation of the thermodynamically very
stable molecule CO2 and formation of a C− H bond. Herein, we report that HCO2− and CO …
