Metal nanoclusters (NCs), which are composed of about 250 or fewer metal atoms, possess
great potential as novel functional materials. Fundamental research on metal NCs gradually …

In this review article, we discuss advances in the chemistry of metal carbonyl clusters
(MCCs) spanning the last three decades, with an emphasis on the more recent reports and …

Chiral metal clusters with atomically precise structure are considered as promising
candidates for disclosing the chirality origin and potential chiroptical applications compared …

Ligand-protected metal nanoclusters controlled by atomic accuracy (ie atomically precise
metal NCs) have recently attracted considerable attention as active sites in heterogeneous …

Metal nanoclusters (NCs), which consist of several, to about one hundred, metal atoms,
have attracted much attention as functional nanomaterials for use in nanotechnology …

With global warming and the depletion of fossil resources, our fossil-fuel-dependent society
is expected to shift to one that instead uses hydrogen (H2) as clean and renewable energy …

The reactions of [HRu3 (CO) 11]−(1) with M (I)(M= Cu, Ag, and Au) compounds such as [Cu
(CH3CN) 4][BF4], AgNO3, and Au (Et2S) Cl afford the 2-D molecular alloy clusters [CuRu6 …

Recently, platinum (Pt) clusters have attracted attention as miniaturized fuel-cell redox
catalysts. Although Pt clusters can be synthesized with atomic accuracy using carbon …

In this microreview, the authors summarize the reactions of [Pt3n (CO) 6n] 2–(n= 1–10) Chini
clusters aimed at their functionalization, modification and transformation. The results are …
