Abstract
Enantioselective synthesis of homochiral rare earth clusters is still a great challenge. In this work, we developed an efficient "cluster to cluster" approach, that is, a pair of enantiomerical R/S-{Nd8Fe3}-oxo clusters were successfully obtained from the presynthesized racemic {Nd9Fe2}-oxo cluster. R/S-hydrobenzoin ligands trigger the transformation of the pristine clusters by an SN2-like mechanism. Compared to the pristine cluster with an achiral core, the new cluster exhibits hierarchical chirality, from ligand chirality to interface chirality, then to helix chirality, and finally to supramolecular double helix chirality. The spectral experiments monitored the transformation and confirmed distinctly structure-related optical activity. The enantiomeric pure cluster also exhibits a potential asymmetric catalytic activity.

Abstract
Chiral aluminum oxo clusters (cAlOCs) are distinguished from other classes of materials on account of their abundance in the earth's crust and their potential for sustainable development. However, the practical synthesis of cAlOCs is rarely known. Herein, we adopt a synergistic coordination strategy by using chiral amino acid ligands as bridges and auxiliary pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid as chelating ligands and successfully isolate an extensive family of cAlOCs. They integrate molecular chirality, absolute helicity, and intrinsic hydrogen-bonded chiral topology. Moreover, they have the structural characteristics of one-dimensional channels and replaceable counteranions, which make them well combined with fluorescent dyes for circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). The absolute luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) of up to the 10-3 order is comparable to several noble metals, revealing the enormous potential of cAlOCs in low-cost chiral materials. We hope this work will inspire new discoveries in the field of chirality and provide new opportunities for constructing low-cost chiral materials.

Abstract
Two heteroatom-templated Dy(III)-confined polyoxotungstates [H2N(CH3)2]7Na7[Dy2(H2O)7(W4O9)(HPSeW15O54)(α-SeW9O33)2]·31H2O (1) and [H2N(CH3)2]14K2Na18{[Dy2(H2O)13W14O40]2[α-SeW9O33]4[HPSeW15O54]2}·44H2O (2) were synthesized by a one-pot aqueous reaction and structurally characterized. The most distinctive structural feature of complexes 1 & 2 is the simultaneous presence of both trivacant Keggin [α-SeW9O33]8- and Dawson [HPSeW15O54]10- building blocks containing P(III)-Se(IV) heteroatoms. The trimeric polyanion of 1 can be represented as a fusion of two trivacant Keggin [α-SeW9O33]8- and Dawson [HPSeW15O54]10- building units encapsulating the [Dy2(H2O)7(W4O9)]12+ cluster. On the other hand, hexameric polyoxoanions of 2 are described as four trivacant Keggin [α-SeW9O33]8- and two Dawson [HPSeW15O54]10-, building units anchoring a [Dy4(H2O)26W28O80]20+ cluster. The magnetic investigation revealed the presence of significant magnetic anisotropy and slow relaxation of magnetization behavior for complex 1 with a phenomenological energy barrier, Ueff = 13.58 K in the absence of an external magnetic field, and Ueff = 24.57 K in the presence of a 500 Oe external dc magnetic field. On the other hand, complex 2 favors the QTM relaxation process in the absence of an external magnetic field and shows field-induced slow relaxation of magnetization with Ueff = 11.11 K at 1500 Oe applied dc field. The in-depth analysis of magnetic relaxation dynamics shows that the relaxation process follows the Orbach as well as Raman relaxation pathways. Further, the ab initio calculation of the studied complexes confirms that the highly axial ground and first excited energy states (containing pure highest mJ states) are responsible for the observed single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior. Remarkably, this is the first example of a mixed heteroatom-based Dy(III)-substituted polyoxotungstate with both trimeric Keggin [α-SeW9O33]8- and Dawson [HPSeW15O54]10- building units showing SMM behavior.

Abstract
Coordination-driven self-assembly processes often produce remarkable structures. In particular, self-assembly processes mediated by chiral template units have provided research ideas for analyzing the formation of chiral macromolecules in living organisms. In this study, by regulating the proportion of reaction raw materials in the "one-pot" synthesis of lanthanide complexes, we constructed chiral template units with different coordination orientations. As a result, lanthanide chiral chains connected to different structures were obtained through the self-assembly process of coordination recognition. In particular, driven by coordination, chiral template units with codirectional coordination points (called cis configuration) coordinate solely with cis template units during the self-assembly process to obtain a one-dimensional (1D) chain R-1/S-1 with an "S"-shaped distribution. Moreover, chiral template units with reversed coordination sites (called trans configuration) and twisted chiral template units are connected solely to templates with the same configuration to form a 1D chain R-2/S-2 with an axial helix. A circular dichroism spectrum shows that R-1/S-1 and R-2/S-2 are two pairs of enantiomers. The controllable construction of these two differential 1D chains is of great significance for studying coordination recognition at the molecular level. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to construct a 1D lanthanide chain through the self-assembly process of coordination recognition. The assembly process of nucleotides to form a hierarchical structure is simulated. This work provides a vivid example of the controllable synthesis of lanthanide complexes with precise structures and offers a new perspective on the formation process of chiral macromolecules that simulates natural processes.

Abstract
Hard-Soft Acid-Base (HSAB) principle plays an important guiding role in the design and synthesis of novel clusters and coordination compounds, in which "soft acids prefer to react with soft bases, while hard acids have an affinity for hard bases". Based on HSAB principle, four Ag/Ti heterometallic clusters, including Ag2Ti10, Ag2Ti11 with "Ti-encapsulated Ag" configurations, and two "Ag-encapsulated Ti" structures Ag2Ti2 and Ag2Ti12, were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. In addition, Ag2Ti12 exhibited an efficient and stable catalytic activity for sulfide oxidation. This work provides not only a new structural model for the modulation of the catalytic oxidative desulfurization properties of Ag/Ti heterometallic clusters but also a new insight of the utilization of phosphine-containing ligands to regulate the structure of Ag/Ti heterometallic clusters.

Abstract
The manipulation of metal cluster enantiomers and their reconstruction remain challenging. Here, for the first time, we report an enantiomeric pair of hydride copper clusters [Cu18H(R/S-PEA)12](BF4)5 (R/S-Cu18H) made using designed chiral ligands. By manipulation of R/S-Cu18H with Ag+ ions, H- ions are released, leading to the reconstruction of 15 Cu atoms. Moreover, 4 Ag atoms replaced Cu atoms at the specific sites, resulting in the formation of homochiral [Cu15Ag4(R/S-PEA)12](BF4)5 (R/S-Cu15Ag4) with an isomorphic metal skeleton. This process was accompanied by a reduction reaction generating two free valence elections in the chiral alloying counterparts, which displayed orange emission. The solid-state R/S-Cu15Ag4 exhibited a photoluminescence quantum yield of 7.02% and excellent circularly polarized luminescence. The chiral transformations were resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The development of chiral copper hydride precursor-based metal clusters with chiroptical activities holds tremendous promise for advancing the field of optoelectronics and enabling new applications in lighting, displays, and beyond.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the successful assembly of achiral {Ln6M} ([Ln6M(μ3-OH)8(acac)12(CH3O)x(CH3OH)y], Ln = La, M = Mn, Co, Fe) and chiral {Nd9Fe2} ([Nd9Fe2(μ4-O)(μ3-OH)14(acac)16(NO3)(CH3OH)2(H2O)3]) rare earth clusters using achiral rigid ligands and a transition metal doping strategy. {Ln6M} can be viewed as the fusion of two {Ln3M} tetrahedrons by sharing vertices. {Nd9Fe2} results from the fusion of four {Ln3M} tetrahedrons by vertice and edge sharing. The substitution of Ln with transition metal leads to changes in the coordination pattern around neighboring Ln, which triggers the switch of metal center chirality. This study demonstrates the potentiality of utilizing transition metal doping and rigid ligand to control the chirality of rare earth clusters. In addition, the photocatalytic CO2 activity of these transition metal-doped rare earth clusters has been studied.

Abstract
The interest in cluster chemistry lies not only in the development of new types of geometric structures but also in the higher-level connectivity and assembly of clusters at the supramolecular level. Here, we report a novel windmill-like Al10 cluster and consider this geometrically unique cluster as an anionic node assembled together with different cationic guests such as imidazolium and guanidinium. These guests with different hydrogen-bond angles can help to obtain a series of diverse hydrogen-bonding networks and then manipulate the stacking mode of hosts and guests. Furthermore, we realized a supramolecular approach to fine-tune the optical limiting properties of the cluster. This work not only enriches the host-guest chemistry of ionic windmill-like clusters but also opens up more possibilities for aluminum oxo cluster-based hydrogen-bonded frameworks.

Abstract
Although the synthesis of low-dimensional metal sulfides by assembling cluster-based units is expected to promote the development of optical materials and models of enzyme active centers such as dinitrogenase, it is faced with limited assembly methodology. Herein we present a cut-to-link strategy to generate high-nuclearity assemblies, inspired by the formation of a Z-type dimer of the W-S-Cu analogues of PN cluster through in situ release of active linkers. Four new compounds with structures based on the same {Tp*WS3Cu3} incomplete cubane-like units were obtained using varied combinations of mild reagents. Open-aperture Z-scan measurements demonstrated the highest-nuclearity complex has the largest nonlinear optical absorption coefficient among discrete cluster-based materials reported to date. This approach enables building high-nuclearity metal sulfide clusters through cluster-based building blocks and opens a way to the design and exploration of materials based on well-identified building blocks.

Abstract
Metallic clusters, assembled by functional motifs, possess the attribute of regulating the properties by changing inorganic and organic components. In this work, a series of aluminum-oxo clusters, [Al6O(dmp)4(Hdmp)2]·2iPrOH [Al6-1, H3dmp = 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid], [Al6(H2thmmg)6]·2DMF·2H2O [Al6-2, H5thmmg = N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methylglycine], [Al8(OH)4(NAP-OH)12(MeO)7(MeOH)]Cl·7MeCN·3MeOH (Al8, HNAP-OH = 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid), and [Al10(NA)10(MeO)20] (Al10, HNA = nicotinic acid), were obtained based on different carboxylic acids, realizing metallic ring size enlargement from 5.91 to 9.32 Å. They all exhibit good chemical stability. Importantly, the Al8 cluster displays obvious photochromic behavior from pale yellow to orange yellow, originating from the generation of photoinduced radicals in the metal-assisted ligand-ligand electron transfer process of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (HNAP-OH). This work enriches the metal ring cluster chemistry and reports the example of the aluminum-oxo cluster-based photochromic material, developing a novel system of photochromic materials.

Abstract
Widespread concern has been raised over the synthesis of highly nucleated lanthanide clusters with special shapes and/or specific linkages. Construction of lanthanide clusters with specific shapes and/or linkages can be achieved by carefully regulating the hydrolysis of lanthanide metal ions and the resulting hydrolysis products. However, studies on the manipulation of lanthanide-ion hydrolysis to obtain giant lanthanide-oxo clusters have been few. In this study, we obtained a tetraicosa lanthanide cluster (3) by manipulating the hydrolysis of Dy(III) ions using an anion (OAc-). As far as we know, cluster 3 has the highest nucleation among all lanthanide-oxo clusters reported. In 3, two triangular Dy3O4 are oriented in opposite directions to form the central connecting axis Dy6(OH)8, which is in turn connected to six Dy3O4 that are oriented in different directions. Meanwhile, a sample of a chiral trinuclear dysprosium cluster (1) was obtained in a mixed CH3OH and CH3CN solvent and by replacing the anion in the reaction to Cl- ions. In this cluster, 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2,5-diamine (L2) is free on one side through π···π interactions and is parallel to the o-vanillin (L1)- ligand, thus resulting in a triangular arrangement. The arrangement of L2 affects the end group coordination in the cluster 1 structure through hydrogen bonding and induces the cluster to exhibit chirality. When the reaction solvent was changed to CH3OH, a sample of cluster 2, composed of two independent triangular Dy3 that have different end group arrangements, was obtained. Magnetic analysis showed that clusters 1 and 3 both exhibit distinctive single-molecule magnetic properties under zero-magnetic-field conditions. This study thus provides a method for the creation of chiral high-nucleation clusters from achiral ligands and potentially paves the way for the synthesis of high-nucleation lanthanide clusters with unique forms.

Abstract
The metallic central magnetic axes in high-nucleation clusters with complex structural connections tend to be disorganized and cancel each other out. Therefore, high-nucleation clusters cannot easily exhibit single-molecule magnets (SMMs) behaviors. Herein, we select a triple-core building block (Dy3K2, 1) and use linked diamagnetic alkali metal to form an open, spherical, high-nucleation cluster Dy12Na6 (3) with SMM behavior. Furthermore, by changing the reaction conditions, Dy6K2 (2) formed by linking two Dy3 by K(I) is obtained. High-resolution electrospray mass spectrometry of clusters 1–3 effectively captures the building block Dy3, and clusters 1 and 3 and Dy3 have high stability even with the increase in ion source energy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that an SMM based on a high-nucleation cluster has been obtained by connecting magnetic primitives via diamagnetic metal ions. Dy12K6 is currently the highest nuclear ns-4f heterometallic SMM. We synthesized ns-4f cluster-based SMM by using diamagnetic alkali metal connection Clusters 1–3 are rare examples of ns-4f heterometallic clusters Dy12K6 is currently the highest nuclear ns-4f heterometallic SMM HRESI-MS is used to explore the formation of ns-4f high-nucleation clusters

Abstract
Template-directed assembly of giant cluster-based nanomaterials is an everlasting theme in cluster science. In this work, ethylenediamine tetramethylphosphonic acid [H8EDTPA = (POCH2(OH)2)4C2H4N2] and [B-α-SbW9O33]9- were, respectively, used as an organic template and an inorganic template to prepare an organophosphonic acid-regulating PV-SbIII-heteroatom-inserted polyoxotungstate aggregate [H2N(CH3)2]5Na11H9[CeW4O10(HEDTPA)SbW15O50][B-α-SbW9O33]2·36H2O (1). Noteworthily, organophosphonic acid ligand not only works as an organic template leading to the assembly of a [HEDTPASbW15O50]14- building block but also further bridges the sandwich-type [CeW4O10(B-α-SbW9O33)2]11- entity. To extend its potential application in electrochemical sensing properties, we prepared a three-dimensional 1@EGO composite (EGO = reduced graphene oxide functionalized by ethylenediamine) with porous architecture and a prominent conducting ability. Furthermore, the 1@EGO composite was explored as a modification material for glassy carbon electrodes to build a dual-signal readout electrochemical aptasensor for carcinogens, which shows much better detection performance for aflatoxin B1 compared with traditional single-signal biosensors.

Abstract
A series of acetylacetone-protected lanthanide-titanium-oxo clusters (LTOCs), formulated as [La6Ti(μ3-OH)8(acac)12(CH3O)2(CH3OH)6] (La6Ti; Hacac = acetylacetone) and [Ln9Ti2(μ4-O)(μ3-OH)14(acac)17(CH3O)2(CH3OH)3] [Ln = Eu (Eu9Ti2) and Tb (Tb9Ti2)], were synthesized through the reactions of LnCl3·6H2O (Ln = La, Eu, and Tb), Hacac, Ti(OiPr)4, and triethylamine in methanol. Crystal structural analysis shows that La6Ti exhibits an hourglass-like structure consisting of two La3Ti cubane subunits by sharing one Ti4+ ion, while Eu9Ti2 can be viewed as a combination of four Eu3Ti cubane subunits by sharing three corners and one side. The photoluminescence (PL) measurements show that Tb9Ti2 exhibits excellent PL properties with a high quantum yield (QY) of 34.8%, while Eu9Ti2 only has a QY of 1.4% because of the different photosensitizations of ligands to Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions in the photophysical process.
