We summarize here the research advances on the reactivity of metal clusters. After a simple
introduction of apparatuses used for gas-phase cluster reactions, we focus on the reactivity …

Building metal materials with well-defined components and the monomer-genetic property is
one of the foremost challenges in chemistry and materials science. In recent years, metal …

Silver chains fabricated from supported silver particles were embedded in Hollandite‐type
manganese oxide, thereby exposing single silver atoms as catalytically active sites (see …

A novel method of redox precipitation was applied for the first time to synthesize a Au-doped
α-MnO2 catalyst with high dispersion of the Au species. Au nanoparticles (NPs) can be …

Recent work on the chemical reactivity of mass-selected small silver and gold, as well as
binary silver–gold cluster ions in a temperature controlled radio frequency ion trap …

Many natural oxidations are relevant to the origin and running of life but usually proceeded
under mild conditions using molecular oxygen (O2) in the air as the sole oxidant and …

Laser ablation generated Au x (TiO2) y O z–(x= 0, 1; y= 2, 3; z= 1, 2) oxide cluster anions
have been mass-selected using a quadrupole mass filter and reacted with CO in a hexapole …

Gas-phase cluster reactivity experiments, combined with theoretical calculations, provide
insight into how factors such as size, stoichiometry and charging effects influence reactions …

Spin accommodation is demonstrated to play a determining role in the reactivity of silver
cluster anions with oxygen. Odd-electron silver clusters are found to be especially reactive …

Theoretical investigations of femtosecond dynamical processes in elemental clusters and
their active control by designed light fields are of fundamental importance for learning how …
