Heterogeneous catalysis involves solid-state catalysts, among which metal nanoparticles
occupy an important position. Unfortunately, no two nanoparticles from conventional …

Ligated hydrido-coinage-metal clusters M x H y L z (M= Cu/Ag/Au, L= ligand; where x, y, and
z are positive integers) often exhibit interesting catalytic properties, and serve as ideal …

Accurate identifying and in‐depth understanding of the defect sites in a working
nanomaterial could hinge on establishing specific defect‐activity relationships. Yet …

Unraveling the evolution mechanism of metal nanoclusters is of great importance in
understanding the formation and evolution of metallic condensed matters. In this work, the …

Because of the typical instability of copper nanoclusters, atom-precise structural elucidation
of these nanoclusters has remained elusive. Herein, we report an air-and moisture-stable 23 …

Atomically precise coinage metal (Au, Ag, and Cu) nanoclusters (NCs) have been the
subject of immense interest for their intriguing structural, photophysical, and catalytic …

Hydrogen is seen as an increasingly important clean and sustainable energy source going
into the future. There are a host of materials being investigated for the storage of hydrogen …

Doping of a hydride (H–) into an oblate-shaped gold cluster [Au9 (PPh3) 8] 3+ was observed
for the first time by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Density functional theory …

In sharp contrast to surface hydrides, reactivities of interstitial hydrides are difficult to explore.
When treated with a metal ion (Cu+, Ag+, and Au+), the stable CuI dihydride template …

Atomically precise nanomaterials with tunable solid-state luminescence attract global
interest. In this work, we present a new class of thermally stable isostructural tetranuclear …
