Ultrasmall coinage metal nanoclusters (NCs,< 3 nm) have emerged as a novel class of
theranostic probes due to their atomically precise size and engineered physicochemical …

Atomically precise gold nanoclusters provide great opportunities to explore the relationship
between the structure and properties of nanogold catalysts. A nanocluster consists of a …

The design of surface ligands is crucial for ligand‐protected gold nanoclusters (Au NCs).
Besides providing good protection for Au NCs, the surface ligands also play the following …

The manipulation of metal cluster enantiomers and their reconstruction remain challenging.
Here, for the first time, we report an enantiomeric pair of hydride copper clusters [Cu18H …

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

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) originates from the chiral emissive excited states.
CPL materials have promising applications in 3D optical displays, encryptions, biological …

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 …

In this contribution, we provide an overview of the main avenues that have emerged in gold
coordination chemistry during the last years. The unique properties of gold have motivated …

Atomically precise enantiomeric metal clusters are scarce, and copper (I) alkynyl clusters
with intense circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) responses have not been reported. A …

The selection of surface organic ligands is very important for the preparation of coinage
metal clusters with precise structures, which can dictate the related properties of metal …
