Thermodynamic stability of ligand-protected metal nanoclusters [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2017
The thermodynamic stability of atomically precise, liganded metal nanoclusters remains poorly understood. Here, the authors use first-principles calculations to derive a new theory that rationalizes the stability of these nanoclusters as a function of ...

A route to metalloligands consolidated silver nanoclusters by grafting thiacalix[4]arene onto polyoxovanadates

Nature Communications, 2023
Metalloligands provide a potent strategy for manipulating the surface metal arrangements of metal nanoclusters, but their synthesis and subsequent installation onto metal nanoclusters remains a significant challenge. Herein, two atomically precise silver

A reasonable approach for the generation of hollow icosahedral kernels in metal nanoclusters

Nature Communications, 2021
The origin of the hollow icosahedral M12 kernel in metal nanoclusters is under debate. Here the authors demonstrate the Au alloying-induced kernel collapse from small-sized nano-building blocks as a viable approach for the generation of hollow ...
