The luminescent octahedral molybdenum, tungsten, and rhenium cluster complexes have
attracted a broad interest in the past decades for the design of photofunctional materials …

Clusters are ensembles of bound atoms intermediate in size between a molecule and a bulk
solid. Some of these clusters form stable units with atomically precise structures that give …

Conspectus The programmed assembly of nanoscale building blocks into multicomponent
hierarchical structures is a powerful strategy for the bottom-up construction of functional …

The synthesis of Re6Q4X10 (Q) Se, Te; X) Cl, Br) 1, 2 by Fedorov in 1971 and, 12 years
later, the work of Leduc, Perrin and Sergent3 laid the foundation of an extensive high …

In the search for rationally assembled functional materials, superatomic crystals (SACs)
have recently emerged as a unique class of compounds that combine programmable …

Conceptually, it is not difficult to imagine reaching into a solid structure and carving out just
that portion of the framework we desire. Solid-state reactions incorporating an ionic …

Organic polycarboxylates that exhibit high designability and stability are fundamental
building units for constructing coordination and hydrogen-bonded frameworks in …

Because the structures and properties of crystalline metal chalcogenides are strongly
dependent on their synthetic conditions, developing new methods to approach novel …

Chalcogenido metalate-based clusters, comprising cluster cores with directly bonded metal
cations and chalcogenide anions, have been a focus of inorganic and materials research for …

Transition metal clusters, by virtue of their well-defined structures and unique properties,
present themselves as an attractive class of structural and functional building blocks for …
