Abstract
Herein, novel luminol functional gold nanoparticles (lum-AuNPs) were quickly prepared in an alkaline luminol solution with HAuCl4, which had the unique characteristics of uniform size and excellent luminescence properties. A self-made flow injection-chemiluminescence (FI-CL) system was established to study the interaction between pepsin (Pep) and five alkaloids (anisodamine, berberine, reserpine, jatrorrhizine and matrine) using lum-AuNPs as the CL probe. Based on the abovementioned home-made CL system, the possible interaction mechanisms of Pep with five alkaloids have been comprehensively discussed by molecular docking simulation, chemical thermodynamics and kinetic studies. The results indicated that there were obvious CL enhancement and inhibition effects on the lum-AuNPs CL system for the Pep and the complex of Pep/alkaloids, respectively. The possible mechanism for the interaction of Pep–five alkaloids was mainly mediated by the hydrophobic force. The binding constant K and binding site n for the Pep–alkaloid interaction are consistent with the list of Ber > Res > Ani, Jat > Mat, which is relative to the potential of groups of alkaloids interacting with the active site of Pep. A flow injection-chemiluminescence system was established to study the interaction between pepsin and five alkaloids, combined with lum-AuNPs.![]()

Abstract
Recent advances in the synthetic chemistry of atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) have significantly broadened the accessible sizes and structures. Such particles are well defined and have intriguing properties, thus, they are attractive for catalysis. Especially, those NCs with identical size but different core (or surface) structure provide unique opportunities that allow the specific role of the core and the surface to be mapped out without complication by the size effect. Herein, we summarize recent work with isomeric Aun NCs protected by ligands and isostructural NCs but with different surface ligands. The highlighted work includes catalysis by spherical and rod-shaped Au25 (with different ligands), quasi-isomeric Au28 (SR)20 with different R groups, structural isomers of Au38 (SR)24 (with identical R) and Au38 S2 (SR)20 with body-centred cubic (bcc) structure, and isostructural [Au38 L20 (PPh3 )4 ]2+ (different L). These isomeric and/or isostructural NCs have provided valuable insights into the respective roles of the kernel, surface staples, and the type of ligands on catalysis. Future studies will lead to fundamental advances and development of tailor-made catalysts.

Abstract
The synthesis of atom-precise analogues of homometallic nanoclusters remains a great challenge. Herein we report the first pair of atom-precise copper/silver-thiolate halide cluster analogues, namely [Cu17/Ag17I3S(C2B10H10S2)6(CH3CN)11] (Cu17 and Ag17), obtained by bottom-up self-assembly and complete-metal-exchange-induced cluster-to-cluster transformation, respectively. The differences in optical absorption and emission of these analogues were fully elucidated by experimental and theoretical methods.

Abstract
Monostibine-protected ionic Au13 nanoclusters, namely, [Au13(L)8(Cl)4][Cl] (L= SbPh3, 2a·Cl; Sb(p-tolyl)3, 2b·Cl) were prepared by the direct reduction of Au(L)Cl with NaBH4 in dichloromethane. Anion exchange with 2a·Cl afforded [Au13(SbPh3)8(Cl)4][X] (X = PF6, 2a·PF6; BPh4, 2a·BPh4). All these have been characterized by multinuclear NMR, ESI-MS and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Crystallographic analysis of 2a·BPh4 reveals that the cation possesses C 2v symmetry and the tridecagold core adopts a closed icosahedron configuration. The weaker coordinating ability of the stibine ligands leads to the ready reaction of 2b·Cl with PPh3 or glutathione (GSH) to form the smaller phosphine-protected cluster [Au11(PPh3)8Cl2][Cl] or larger thiolate-protected cluster Au25(SG)18, respectively. In the latter reaction, the addition of a small amount (0.5 to 3.5 equivalents) of a suitable oxidant such as K3(Fe(CN)6 accelerates the conversion rate significantly.

Synthesis and characterization of size-controlled atomically precise gold clusters. PHYSICAL SCIENCES REVIEWS 2018.

Abstract
AbstractIn this article, synthetic strategies and characterization methodologies of atomically precise gold clusters have been summarized. The typical and effective synthetic strategies including a systematic “size-focusing” methodology has been developed for attaining atomically precise gold clusters with size control. Another universal synthetic methodology is ligand exchange-induced size/structure transformation (LEIST) based on from one stable size to another. These two methodologies have largely expanded the “universe” of atomically precise gold clusters. Elite of typical synthetic case studies of ligand protected gold clusters are presented. Important characterization techniques of these atomically precise gold clusters also are included. The identification and characterization of gold clusters have been achieved in terms of nuclearity (size), molecular formulation, and geometrical structures by the combination of these techniques. The determination of gold cluster structure based on single crystals is of paramount importance in understanding the relationship of structure–property. The criterion and selection of these typical gold clusters are all “strictly” atomically precise that all have been determined ubiquitously by single crystal diffraction. These related crystallographic data are retrieved from Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) up to 30th November 2017. Meanwhile, the cutting edge and other important characterization methodologies including electron diffraction (ED), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXFAS), and synchrotron sources are briefly reviewed. The new techniques hold the promise of pushing the limits of crystallization of gold clusters. This article is not just an exhaustive and up to date review, generally summarized synthetic strategies, but also a practical guide regarding gold cluster synthesis. We called it a “Cookbook” of ligand protected gold clusters, including synthetic recipes and characterization details.Graphical Abstract:

Abstract
Solving the atomic structure of large-sized metal nanoclusters is a highly challenging task yet critically important for understanding the properties and developing applications. Herein, we report a stable silver nanocluster-Ag146Br2(SR)80 (where SR = 4-isopropylbenzenethiolate)-with its structure solved by X-ray crystallography. Gram-scale synthesis with high yield has been achieved by a one-pot reaction, which offers opportunities for functionalization and applications. This silver nanocluster possesses a core-shell structure with a Ag51 core surrounded by a shell of Ag95Br2S80. The Ag51 core can be viewed as a distorted decahedron, endowing this nanocluster with quantized electronic transitions. In the surface-protecting layer, five different types of S-Ag coordination modes are observed, ranging from the linear Ag-S-Ag to S-Ag3 (triangle) and S-Ag4 (square). Furthermore, temperature-dependent optical absorption and ultrafast electron dynamics are conducted to explore the relationship between the properties and structure, demonstrating that the distorted metal core and "flying saucer"-like shape of this nanocluster have significant effects on the electronic behavior. A comparison with multiple sizes of Ag nanoclusters also provides some insights into the evolution from molecular to metallic behavior.

Abstract
Catalysts based on atomically precise gold nanoclusters serve as an ideal model to relate the catalytic activity to the geometrical and electronic structures as well as the ligand effect. Herein, we investigate three series of ligand (thiolate)-protected gold nanoclusters, including Au38(SR)24, Au36(SR')24, and Au25(SR″)18, with a focus on their interface effects using carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation as a probe reaction. The first comparison is within each series, which reveals the same trend for the three series that, rather than the bulkiness of carbon tails as commonly thought, the steric hindrance of ligands at the interface between the thiolate, Au, and CeO2 inhibits CO adsorption onto Au sites and hence adversely affects the activity of CO oxidation. The second comparison is between the sets Au38(SR)24 and Au36(SR')24 of nearly the same size, which reveals that the Au36(SR')24 nanoclusters (with face centered cubic structure) are not sensitive to thermal pretreatment conditions, whereas the Au38(SR)24 catalysts (icosahedral structure) are and an optimum activity is observed at a pretreatment temperature of 150 °C. Overall, the atomically precise Au n(SR) m nanoclusters have revealed unprecedented details on the catalytic interface and atomic structure effects. It is hoped that such insights will benefit the ultimate goal of catalysis in future design of enzymelike catalysts for environmentally friendly green catalysis.

Abstract
The study of the molecular cluster Au25(SR)18 has provided a wealth of fundamental insights into the properties of clusters protected by thiolated ligands (SR). This is also because this cluster has been particularly stable under a number of experimental conditions. Very unexpectedly, we found that paramagnetic Au25(SR)180 undergoes a spontaneous bimolecular fusion to form another benchmark gold nanocluster, Au38(SR)24. We tested this reaction with a series of Au25 clusters. The fusion was confirmed and characterized by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and electrochemistry. NMR evidences the presence of four types of ligand and, for the same proton type, double signals caused by the diastereotopicity arising from the chirality of the capping shell. This effect propagates up to the third carbon atom along the ligand chain. Electrochemistry provides a particularly convenient way to study the evolution process and determine the fusion rate constant, which decreases as the ligand length increases. No reaction is observed for the anionic clusters, whereas the radical nature of Au25(SR)180 appears to play an important role. This transformation of a stable cluster into a larger stable cluster without addition of any co-reagent also features the bottom-up assembly of the Au13 building block in solution. This very unexpected result could modify our view of the relative stability of molecular gold nanoclusters.

Abstract
An Au-Cu bimetallic nanocluster co-capped by selenolate and phosphine is obtained and its X-ray structure shows an icosahedral Au13 kernel surrounded by three CuSe2PPh2Py motifs and one CuSe3 motif, formulated as [Au13Cu4(PPh2Py)3(SePh)9]. Interestingly, a single-ligand exchange process is observed in the growth reaction, in which an [Au13Cu4(PPh2Py)4(SePh)8]+ intermediate is first formed, but a prolonged reaction leads to one PPh2Py ligand being selectively replaced by a PhSe-ligand. DFT simulations reveal that both steric hindrance and bond dissociation energy have great effects on the single-ligand exchange reaction as well as the thermodynamics, which help to understand the mechanism of the ligand exchange. Temperature-dependent UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) properties of the Au-Cu nanocluster imply that the optical properties are mainly contributed by the metal core. Femtosecond time-resolved pump-probe analysis maps out further details of the PL process.

Abstract
Hydrogen generation via electrocatalytic water splitting holds great promise for future energy revolution. It is desirable to design abundant and efficient catalysts and achieve mechanistic understanding of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, this paper reports a strategy for improving HER performance of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) via introducing gold nanoclusters as a cocatalyst. Compared to plain MoS2 nanosheets, the Au25 (SR)18 /MoS2 nanocomposite exhibits enhanced HER activity with a small onset potential of -0.20 V (vs reversible hydrogen electrode) and a higher current density of 59.3 mA cm-2 at the potential of -0.4 V. In addition to the interfacial interaction between nanoclusters and MoS2 , the interface between the Au25 core and the surface ligands (thiolate vs selenolate) is also discovered to distinctly affect the catalytic performance. This work highlights the promise of metal nanoclusters in boosting the HER performance via tailoring the interfacial electronic interactions between gold nanoclusters and MoS2 nanosheets, as well as the interface between metal core and surface ligands.

Abstract
Atomically precise gold nanoclusters are ideal model catalysts with well-defined compositions and tunable structures. Determination of the ligand effect on catalysis requires the use of gold nanoclusters with protecting ligands as the only variable. Two isostructural Au38 nanoclusters, [Au38(L)20(Ph3P)4]2+ (L = alkynyl or thiolate), have been synthesized by a direct reduction method, and they have an unprecedented face-centered cubic (fcc)-type Au34 kernel surrounded by 4 AuL2 staple motifs, 4 Ph3P, and 12 bridging L ligands. The Au34 kernel can be derived from the fusion of two fcc-type Au20 via sharing a Au6 face. Catalytic performance was studied with these two nanoclusters supported on TiO2 (1/TiO2 and 2/TiO2) as catalysts. The alkynyl-protected Au38 are very active (>97%) in the semihydrogenation of alkynes (including terminal and internal ones) to alkenes, whereas the thiolated Au38 showed a very low conversion (<2%). This fact suggests that the protecting ligands play an important role in H2 activation. This work presents a clear demonstration that catalytic performance of gold nanoclusters can be modulated by the controlled construction of ligand spheres.

Abstract
Atomically precise gold nanocluster based on linear assembly of repeating icosahedrons (clusters of clusters) is a unique type of linear nanostructure, which exhibits strong near-infrared absorption as their free electrons are confined in a one-dimensional quantum box. Little is known about the carrier dynamics in these nanoclusters, which limit their energy-related applications. Here, we reported the observation of exciton localization in triicosahedral Au37 nanoclusters (0.5 nm in diameter and 1.6 nm in length) by measuring femtosecond and nanosecond carrier dynamics. Upon photoexcitation to S1 electronic state, electrons in Au37 undergo ∼100-ps localization from the two vertexes of three icosahedrons to one vertex, forming a long-lived S1* state. Such phenomenon is not observed in Au25 (dimer) and Au13 (monomer) consisting of two and one icosahedrons, respectively. We have further observed temperature dependence on the localization process, which proves it is thermally driven. Two excited-state vibration modes with frequencies of 20 and 70 cm-1 observed in the kinetic traces are assigned to the axial and radial breathing modes, respectively. The electron localization is ascribed to the structural distortion of Au37 in the excited state induced by the strong coherent vibrations. The observed electron localization phenomenon provides unique physical insight into one-dimensional gold nanoclusters and other nanostructures, which will advance their applications in solar-energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
The reaction of [Rh7(CO)16]3- with BiCl3 under N2 and at room temperature results in the formation of the new heterometallic [Bi@Rh12(CO)27]3- cluster in high yields. Further controlled addition of BiCl3 leads first to the formation of the dimeric [(Bi@Rh12(CO)26)2Bi]5- and the closo-[Bi@Rh14(CO)27Bi2]3- species in low yields, and finally, to the [Bi@Rh17(CO)33Bi2]4- cluster. All clusters were spectroscopically characterized by IR and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and their molecular structures were fully determined by X-ray diffraction studies. Notably, they represent the first examples of Bi atoms interstitially lodged in metallic cages that, in this specific case, are all based on an icosahedral geometry. Moreover, [Bi@Rh14(CO)27Bi2]3- forms an exceptional network of infinite zigzag chains in the solid state, thanks to intermolecular Bi-Bi distances.

Abstract
Compared to molecular chemistry, nanochemistry is still far from being capable of tailoring particle structure and functionality at an atomic level. Numerous effective methodologies that can precisely tailor specific groups in organic molecules without altering the major carbon bones have been developed, but for nanoparticles, it is still extremely difficult to realize the atomic-level tailoring of specific sites in a particle without changing the structure of other parts (for example, replacing specific surface motifs and deleting one or two metal atoms). This issue severely limits nanochemists from knowing how different motifs in a nanoparticle contribute to its overall properties. We demonstrate a site-specific "surgery" on the surface motif of an atomically precise 23-gold-atom [Au23(SR)16]- nanoparticle by a two-step metal-exchange method, which leads to the "resection" of two surface gold atoms and the formation of a new 21-gold-atom nanoparticle, [Au21(SR)12(Ph2PCH2PPh2)2]+, without changing the other parts of the starting nanoparticle structure. This precise surgery of the nanocluster reveals the different reactivity of the surface motifs and the inner core: the least effect of surface motifs on optical absorption but a distinct effect on photoluminescence (that is, a 10-fold enhancement of luminescence after the tailoring). First-principles calculations further reveal the thermodynamically preferred reaction pathway for the formation of [Au21(SR)12(Ph2PCH2PPh2)2]+. This work constitutes a major step toward the development of atomically precise, versatile nanochemistry for the precise tailoring of the nanocluster structure to control its properties.

In this study, we found that phosphine protected [Au6(dppp)4]2+ and [Au8(dppp)4Cl2]2+ nanoclusters could be reversibly converted under oxidative/reductive conditions. This work not only provides new insights into the relationship between the [Au6(dppp)4]2+ and [Au8(dppp)4Cl2]2+ nanoclusters, but also offers a novel method for controlling structural evolution of different Au nanoclusters.

Abstract
We here explore a kinetically controlled synthetic protocol for preparing solvent-solvable Au102(SPh)44 nanoclusters which are isolated from polydispersed gold nanoclusters by solvent extraction and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The as-obtained Au102(SPh)44 nanoclusters are determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry, in conjunction with UV-vis spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). However, Au99(SPh)42, instead of Au102(SPh)44, is yielded when the polydispersed gold nanoclusters are etched in the presence of excess thiophenol under thermal conditions (e.g., 80 °C). Interestingly, the Au102(SPh)44 nanoclusters also can convert to Au99(SPh)42 with equivalent thiophenol ligands, evidenced by the analyses of UV-vis and MALDI mass spectrometry. Finally, the TiO2-supported Au102(SPh)44 nanocluster catalyst is investigated in the selective oxidation of sulfides into sulfoxides by the PhIO oxidant and gives rise to high catalytic activity (e.g., 80-99% conversion of R-S-R' sulfides with 96-99% selectivity for R-S([double bond, length as m-dash]O)-R' sulfoxides). The Au102(SPh)44/TiO2 catalyst also shows excellent recyclability in the sulfoxidation process.

Abstract
A new Au22 nanocluster, protected by bis(2-diphenyl-phosphino)ethyl ether (dppee or C28 H28 OP2 ) ligand, has been synthsized and purified with high yield. Electrospray mass spectrometry shows that the new cluster has a formula of Au22 (dppee)7 , containing 22 gold atoms and seven dppee ligands. The cluster is found to be stable as a solid, but metastable in solution. The new cluster has been characterized by UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy, collision-induced dissociation, and (31) P-NMR. The properties of the new cluster have been compared with the previous Au22 (dppo)6 nanocluster (dppo = 1,8-bis(diphenyl-phosphino)octane or C32 H36 P2 ), which contains two fused Au11 units. All the experimental data indicate that the new Au22 (dppee)7 cluster is different from the previously known Au22 (dppo)6 cluster and represents a new Au22 core, which contains most likely one Au11 motif with several Au2 (dppee) or Au(dppee) units. The Au22 (dppee)7 cluster provides a new example of the ligand effects on the nuclearity and structural polymorphism of phosphine-protected atom-precise gold nanoclusters.
