NHC-Stabilized Au10 Nanoclusters and Their Conversion to Au25 Nanoclusters
JACS Au, 2022 Herein, we describe the synthesis of a toroidal Au10 cluster stabilized by N-heterocyclic carbene and halide ligands via reduction of the corresponding NHC-Au-X complexes (X = Cl, Br, I). The significant effect of the halide ligands on the formation, stability, and further conversions of these clusters is presented.

Assembly of Atomically Precise Silver Nanoclusters into Nanocluster-Based Frameworks [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2019 Here, we demonstrate an approach to synthesizing and structurally characterizing three atomically precise anion-templated silver thiolate nanoclusters, two of which form one- and two-dimensional structural frameworks composed of bipyridine-linked nanocluster nodes (referred to as nanocluster-based frameworks, NCFs). We describe the critical role of the
