Atomically precise gold clusters are highly desirable due to their well‐defined structure
which allows the study of structure–property relationships. In addition, they have potential in …

Nanoparticle-based thin films are increasingly being used in various applications. One of the
key factors that determines the properties and performances of these films is the type of …

We have synthesized single crystals of a highly stable Ag8 nanocluster protected by six
ligands of diphenyl-2-phosphinic pyridine (DPPY) plus six ligands of phenylacetylene …

Metalloid gold clusters have unique properties with respect to size and structure and are key
intermediates in studying transitions between molecular compounds and the bulk phase of …

Aurothiomalate (AuTM) is an FDA‐approved antiarthritic gold drug with unique anticancer
properties. To enhance its anticancer activity, we prepared a bioconjugate with human …

Nanoclusters are promising materials for catalysis and sensing due to their large surface
areas and unique electronic structures which can be tailored through composition …

Abstract Au 9 nanoclusters (Au 9 NCs) were deposited onto S-functionalized mesoporous
TiO 2 (SMTiO 2) to produce efficient photocatalysts for Methyl Orange (MO) dye degradation …

We report a parameterization of the second-order density-functional tight-binding (DFTB2)
method for the quantum chemical simulation of phosphine-ligated nanoscale gold clusters …

Graphene supported transition metal clusters are of great interest for potential applications,
such as catalysis, due to their unique properties. In this work, a simple approach to deposit …

There is emerging consensus that stabilization of weak bonds using bulky substituents
operates not only by steric shielding but also by boosting the dispersive attraction across the …
