Abstract
Atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) with unique optical properties and abundant catalytic sites are promising in photocatalysis. However, their light-induced instability and the difficulty of utilizing the photogenerated carriers for photocatalysis pose significant challenges. Here, MAg24 (M=Ag, Pd, Pt, and Au) NCs doped with diverse single heteroatoms have been encapsulated in a metal-organic framework (MOF), UiO-66-NH2, affording MAg24@UiO-66-NH2. Strikingly, compared with Ag25@UiO-66-NH2, the MAg24@UiO-66-NH2 doped with heteroatom exhibits much enhanced activity in photocatalytic hydrogen production, among which AuAg24@UiO-66-NH2 presents the best activity up to 3.6 mmol g-1 h-1, far superior to all other counterparts. Moreover, they display excellent photocatalytic recyclability and stability. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy demonstrate that MAg24 NCs encapsulated into the MOF create a favorable charge transfer pathway, similar to a Z-scheme heterojunction, when exposed to visible light. This promotes charge separation, along with optimized Ag electronic state, which are responsible for the superior activity in photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Abstract
A gold nanocluster Au17 Cd2 (PNP)2 (SR)12 (PNP=2,6-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)pyridine, SR=4-MeOPhS) consisting of an icosahedral Au13 kernel, two Au2 CdS6 staple motifs, and two PNP pincer ligands has been designed, synthesized and well characterized. This cadmium and PNP pincer ligand co-modified gold nanocluster showed high catalytic efficiency in the KA2 reaction, featuring high TON, mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope as well as catalyst recyclability. Comparison of the catalytic performance between Au17 Cd2 (PNP)2 (SR)12 and the structurally similar single cadmium (or PNP) modified gold nanoclusters demonstrates that the co-existence of the cadmium and PNP on the surface is crucial for the high catalytic activity of the gold nanocluster. This work would be enlightening for developing efficient catalysts for cascade reactions and discovering the catalytic potential of metal nanoclusters in organic transformations.

Abstract
The change in the valence state of nanocluster can induce remarkable changes in the properties and structure. However, achieving the valence state changes in nanoclusters is still a challenge. In this work, we use Cu2+ as dopant to "oxidize" [Ag62 S12 (SBut )32 ]2+ (4 free electrons) to obtain the new nanocluster: [Ag62-x Cux S12 (SBut )32 ]4+ with 2 free electrons. As revealed by its structure, the [Ag62-x Cux S12 (SBut )32 ]4+ (x=10∼21) has a similar structure to that of [Ag62 S12 (SBut )32 ]2+ precursor and all the Cu atoms occupy the surface site of nanocluster. It's worth noting that with the Cu atoms doping, the [Ag62-x Cux S12 (SBut )32 ]4+ nanocluster is more stable than [Ag62 S12 (SBut )32 ]2+ at higher temperature and in electrochemical cycle. This result has laid a foundation for the subsequent application and exploration. Overall, this work reveals crystals structure of a new Ag-Cu nanocluster and offers a new insight into the electron reduction/oxidation of nanocluster.

Abstract
Every atom of a heterogeneous catalyst can play a direct or indirect role in its overall catalytic properties. However, it is extremely challenging to determine explicitly which atom(s) of a catalyst can contribute most to its catalytic performance because the observed performance usually reflects an average of all the atoms in the catalyst. The emergence of atomically precise metal nanoclusters brings unprecedented opportunities to address these central issues, as the crystal structures of such nanoclusters have been solved, and hence very fundamental understanding of nanocatalysis can be attained at an atomic level. This minireview focuses on recent efforts to reveal the contributions of the internal atoms or vacancies of nanocluster catalysts to the catalytic processes, including how the catalytic activity can be dramatically changed by the central doping of a foreign atom, how catalytic activation and inactivation can be reversibly switched by shuttling the central atom into and out of nanoclusters, and how evolution in catalytic activity can be driven by structural periodicity in the inner kernels of the nanoclusters. We anticipate that progress in this research area could represent a novel conceptual framework for understanding the crucial roles of internal atoms of the catalysts in tuning the catalytic properties.

Abstract
Atomically precise silver (Ag) nanoclusters are promising materials as catalysts, photocatalysts, and sensors because of their unique structures and mixed-valence states (Ag+ /Ag0 ). However, their low stability hinders the in-depth study of their intrinsic reactivity and catalytic property accompanying their redox processes. Herein, we demonstrate that a molecular hybrid of an atomically precise {Ag27 }17+ nanocluster and polyoxometalates (POMs) can efficiently cleave H2 into protons and electrons. The Ag nanocluster accommodates electrons through the redox reaction from {Ag27 }17+ to {Ag27 }13+ , and the POM ligands play the following important roles: (i) a significant stabilization of the typically unstable Ag nanocluster to preserve its structure during the redox reaction with H2 , (ii) formation of a unique interface between the Ag nanocluster and metal oxides for efficient H2 cleavage, and (iii) storage of the generated protons on the negatively charged basic surface.

Abstract
Heterometal doping is a powerful method for tuning the physicochemical properties of metal nanoclusters. While the heterometals doped into such nanoclusters predominantly include transition metals with closed d-shells, the doping of open d-shell metals remains largely unexplored. Herein, we report the first synthesis of a [RhHAg24 (SPhMe2 )18 ]2- nanocluster, in which a Rh atom with open d-shells ([Kr]4d8 5s1 ) is incorporated into the Ag24 framework by forming a RhH superatom with closed d-shells ([Kr]4d10 ). Combined experimental and theoretical investigations showed that the Ag24 framework was co-doped with Rh and hydride and that the RhH dopant was a superatomic construct of a Pd atom. Additional studies demonstrated that the [RhHAg24 (SPhMe2 )18 ]2- nanocluster was isoelectronic to the [PdAg24 (SPhMe2 )18 ]2- nanocluster with the superatomic 8-electron configuration (1S2 1P6 ). This study demonstrated for the first time that a superatom could be incorporated into a cluster superatom to generate a stable superatom-in-superatom nanocluster.

Abstract
Atomically precise noble metal nanoclusters (especially Au and Ag) have been pursued due to their fascinating molecule-like properties. In spite of the significant progress on Au nanoclusters (NCs), the structure and property evolution of Ag NCs is still in high demand. Doping is a useful strategy for improving the physicochemical performances of Ag NCs. Herein we summarize the recent advances in tailoring silver NC structures and properties via doping. First, we reviewed the recent studies on the synthesis of hetero metal atom doped silver bimetallic nanoclusters, which are classified by the dopants, including Au, Pt, Pd, Cu, Ni and Cd. Second, the doping effects on their properties were reviewed, including the locations of hetero metal atoms, the influence on their stability, and the charge state evolution. Moreover, we highlighted the doping-dependent improvement of the photo-luminescence (PL) performance and catalytic activity of Ag NCs.

Abstract
Unravelling the structure of thiolated metalloid gold nanoclusters in the medium-sized range by single crystal X-ray crystallography (SCXC) is challenging. Herein, we successfully synthesized a novel Au67 (SR)35 nanocluster, and unravelled its single crystal structure by SCXC, which features a mix-structured Au48 kernel protected by one Au4 (SR)5 staple and fifteen Au(SR)2 staples. Unprecedentedly, this structure can be thermally induced to aggregate into larger nanoparticles and self-deposit to form a gold nanoparticles film onto the walls of a vial or other substrates such as quartz, mica or ceramic, which can be developed into a facile, substrate-universal and scalable filming method. The film exhibits high sensitivity, uniformity and recyclability as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate and can be applied for detecting multiple organic pollutants.

[PMID: 32969553 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202003733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Revised: 09/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Developing efficient catalysts for the conversion of CO2 into fuels and value-added chemicals is of great significance to relieve the growing energy crisis and global warming. With the assistance of DFT calculations, it was found that, different from Al12 X (X=Be, Al, and C), the alkali-metal-like superatom Al12 P prefers to combine with CO2 via a bidentate double oxygen coordination, yielding a stable Al12 P(η2 -O2 C) complex containing an activated radical anion of CO2 (i.e., CO2 .- ). Thereby, this compound could not only participate in the subsequent cycloaddition reaction with propylene oxide but also initiate the radical reaction with hydrogen gas to form high-value chemicals, revealing that Al12 P can play an important role in catalyzing these conversion reactions. Considering that Al12 P has been produced in laboratory and is capable of absorbing visible light to drive the activation and transformation of CO2 , it is anticipated that this work could guide the discovery of additional superatom catalysts for CO2 transformation and open up a new research field of superatom catalysis.

Abstract
It is challenging to control the catalyst activation and deactivation by removal and addition of only one central atom, as it is almost impossible to precisely abstract an atom from a conventional catalyst and analyze its catalysis. Here we report that the loss of one central atom in Au25 (resulting in Au24 ) enhances the catalytic activity in the oxidation of methane compared to the original Au25 . More importantly, the activity can be readily switched through shuttling the central atom into Au24 and out of Au25 . This work will serve as a starting point for design rules on how to control catalytic performance of a catalyst by an atom alteration.

[PMID: 30290044 DOI: 10.1002/anie.201808997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2018] [Revised: 09/21/2018] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Homology is well known in organic chemistry; however, it has not yet been reported in nanochemistry. Herein, we introduce the concept of kernel homology to describe the phenomenon of metal nanoclusters sharing the same "functional group" in kernels with some similar properties. To illustrate this point, we synthesized two novel gold nanoclusters, Au44 (TBBT)26 and Au48 (TBBT)28 (TBBTH=4-tert-butylbenzenethiol), and solved their total structures by X-ray crystallography, which reveals that they have the same Au23 bi-icosahedron capped with a similar bottom cap (Au6 and Au8 , respectively) in the kernels. The two novel gold nanoclusters, together with the existing Au38 (PET)24 nanocluster (PETH=phenylethanethiol), have the same "functional group"-Au23 -in their kernels and have some similar properties (e.g., electrochemical properties); therefore, they are comparable to the homologues in organic chemistry.
