Improving the knowledge of the relationship between structure and properties is
fundamental in catalysis. Recently, researchers have developed a variety of well-controlled …

Metal nanoclusters (MNCs) have ultrasmall size (≤ 3 nm), precise molecular structure,
strong luminescence, size-sensitive physicochemical properties, engineerable metallic …

We report a new enantiomeric pair of superatomic silver clusters, R/S-Ag 17, prepared from
chiral alkynyl ligands. R-Ag 17 and S-Ag 17 possess C 3 symmetry and emit near-infrared …

Noble metal nanoclusters are in the intermediate state between discrete atoms and
plasmonic nanoparticles and are of significance due to their atomically accurate structures …

Ultrasmall metal nanoparticles (NPs) with a well-defined composition and structure, the so-
called metal nanoclusters (NCs, usually smaller than 3 nm in size), represent the forefront …

Chirality is ubiquitous in nature and plays mysterious and essential roles in maintaining key
biological and physiological processes. As biological systems display high selectivity for …

Chirality is ubiquitous in nature and occurs at all length scales. The development of
applications for chiral nanostructures is rising rapidly. With the recent achievements of …

Thus far, no correlation between nanocluster structures and their electrochemiluminescence
(ECL) has been identified. Herein, we report how face-centered-cubic and hexagonal close …

Although chirality is an ever-present characteristic in biology and some artificial molecules,
controlling the chirality and demystifying the chirality origin of complex assemblies remain …

Conspectus Over recent years, the field of thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters has made
remarkable progress. The successful determination of the structure of some of these clusters …
