Abstract
The poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) polymer stabilized silver nanoclusters Agn (n = 2-9), synthesized in aqueous solution by the selected light wavelength irradiation photolysis approach, have been functionalized with thiol and amine ligands and successfully transferred from aqueous to organic media. Low- or high-resolution positive mass spectra showed constant species composites with the molecular formula AgnLn-1 [n = 2 to ∼9, L = butylmercaptan (C4H9S), thiolphenol (C6H5S), or dodecanethiol (C12H25S)] and proved that the molecules consist of deprotonated sulfur ligands in each species with one positive charge. Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are consistent, indicating deprotonated sulfur, while silver has a zero valence value. The composition of the functionalized silver clusters is in agreement with that observed from polymer-wrapped "naked" silver clusters, which strongly indicates their real existence. For the silver cluster amine systems (heptylamine, dodecylamine, and oleylamine), only "naked" silver cluster species were detected from mass spectroscopy, similar to the polymer-wrapped case, indicating they are not stable enough in the gas phase. The development of a new antibacterial mask material is very important. The dodecylamine-capping silver nanoclusters were selected by coating the coffee filter surface to conduct antibacterial tests with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, demonstrating very efficient antimicrobial properties even with organic capping ligands. Experiments also show that they work on mask material. One nanowire assembly with polystyrene and dodecylamine-capping silver nanoclusters was prepared, showing uniform nanofibers generated via the electrospray technique.

Abstract
At present, the selective hydrogenation of α, β-unsaturated aldehydes remains a challenge due to competition between unsaturated functional groups (C=C and C=O). In this study, N-doped carbon deposited on silica-supported nickel Mott-Schottky type catalysts (Ni/SiO2@NxC) was prepared for the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) by using the respective hydrothermal method and high-temperature carbonization method. The prepared optimal Ni/SiO2@N7C catalyst achieved 98.9% conversion and 83.1% selectivity for 3-phenylpropionaldehyde (HCAL) in the selective hydrogenation reaction of CAL. By constructing the Mott-Schottky effect, the electron transfer from metallic Ni to N-doped carbon at their contact interface was promoted, and the electron transfer was demonstrated by XPS and UPS. Experimental results indicated that by modulating the electron density of metallic Ni, the catalytic hydrogenation of C=C bonds was preferentially performed to obtain higher HCAL selectivity. Meanwhile, this work also provides an effective way to design electronically adjustable type catalysts for more selective hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract
Auranofin, a gold(I)-complex with tetraacetylated thioglucose (Ac4 GlcSH) and triethylphosphine ligands, is an FDA-approved drug used as an anti-inflammatory aid in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. In repurposing auranofin for other diseases, it was found that the drug showed significant activity against Gram-positive but was inactive against Gram-negative bacteria. Herein, the design and synthesis of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) based on the structural motif of auranofin are reported. Phosphine-capped AuNCs are synthesized and glycosylated, yielding auranofin analogues with mixed triphenylphosphine monosulfonate (TPPMS)/Ac4 GlcSH ligand shells. These AuNCs are active against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including multidrug-resistant pathogens. Notably, an auranofin analogue, a mixed-ligand 1.6 nm AuNC 4b, is more active than auranofin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while exhibiting lower toxicity against human A549 cells. The enhanced antibacterial activity of these AuNCs is characterized by a greater uptake of Au by the bacteria compared to AuI complexes. Additional factors include increased oxidative stress, moderate inhibition of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), and DNA damage. Most intriguingly, the uptake of AuNCs are not affected by the bacterial outer membrane (OM) barrier or by binding with the extracellular proteins. This contrasts with AuI complexes like auranofin that are susceptible to protein binding and hindered by the OM barrier.

Abstract
Atomically precise gold clusters are highly desirable due to their well-defined structure which allows the study of structure-property relationships. In addition, they have potential in technological applications such as nanoscale catalysis. The structural, chemical, electronic, and optical properties of ligated gold clusters are strongly defined by the metal-ligand interaction and type of ligands. This critical feature renders gold-phosphine clusters unique and distinct from other ligand-protected gold clusters. The use of multidentate phosphines enables preparation of varying core sizes and exotic structures beyond regular polyhedrons. Weak gold-phosphorous (Au-P) bonding is advantageous for ligand exchange and removal for specific applications, such as catalysis, without agglomeration. The aim of this review is to provide a unified view of gold-phosphine clusters and to present an in-depth discussion on recent advances and key developments for these clusters. This review features the unique chemistry, structural, electronic, and optical properties of gold-phosphine clusters. Advanced characterization techniques, including synchrotron-based spectroscopy, have unraveled substantial effects of Au-P interaction on the composition-, structure-, and size-dependent properties. State-of-the-art theoretical calculations that reveal insights into experimental findings are also discussed. Finally, a discussion of the application of gold-phosphine clusters in catalysis is presented.

Abstract
Monolayer protected Au nanocluster catalysts are known to undergo structural changes during catalytic reactions, including dissociation and migration of ligands onto the support, which strongly affects their activity and stability. To better understand how the nature of ligands influences the catalytic activity of such catalysts, three types of ceria supported Au nanoclusters with different kinds of ligands (thiolates, phosphines and a mixture thereof) have been studied, employing CO oxidation as model reaction. The thiolate‐protected Au25/CeO2 showed significantly higher CO conversion after activation at 250 °C than the cluster catalysts possessing phosphine ligands. Temperature programmed oxidation and in situ infrared spectroscopy revealed that while the phosphine ligands seemed to decompose and free Au surface was exposed, temperatures higher than 250 °C are required to efficiently remove them from the whole catalyst system. Moreover, the presence of residues on the support seemed to have much greater influence on the reactivity than the gold particle size.

Abstract
Luminescent metal nanoclusters (NCs) have been established as next-generation fluorophores. Their biocompatible and non-toxic nature, along with excellent chemical- and photo-stability, enables them to find applications in multi-disciplinary areas. However, preparing NCs which are stable is always challenging, primarily owing to their small size and propensity to self-aggregate. In this review, we highlight a holistic approach as to how ligands and templates can monitor the stability of NCs, tune their spectroscopic signatures, and alter their applications. The role of small molecules of a large ligand in the preparation of NCs and their associated limitations are also discussed. We have summarized how these NCs can be utilized in sensing several metal ions, pH, viscosity and temperature of many systems which have biological relevance. Additionally, these luminescent metal NCs find usage in cell-imaging, discriminating between cancerous and non-cancerous cell lines and also targeting specific organelles within the cellular environment.

Abstract
Gold nanoclusters and isolated gold atoms have been produced in a two-liquid phase procedure that involves a solution of gold in aqua regia and rosemary essential oil as organic layer. These gold entities have been immobilized on the ordered mesoporous silica material SBA-15 functionalized with different amounts of aminopropyl groups. The resulting materials have been characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption, chemical analysis, TGA, 29Si MAS NMR, 13C CP/MAS NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, XPS, and STEM. The Au-containing materials retain the ordering and porosity of the pristine support. Gold content varies in the range of 0.07–0.7 wt% as a function of the specific immobilization conditions, while STEM evidences the presence of isolated gold atoms. XPS shows a shift of the Au 4f BE toward values lower than those of metallic gold. The catalytic activity in the oxidation of cyclohexene with molecular oxygen at atmospheric pressure parallels the Au content of the aminopropyl-SBA-15 supports. This activity is higher than that of analogous Au entities immobilized on SBA-15 functionalized with thiol or sulfonate groups, the activity decreasing in the order Au-NH2 > Au-SO3− > Au-SH. This behavior has been attributed to differences in the interaction strength between the functional group and the Au entities, which is optimum for the aminopropyl groups.

Abstract
The properties of gold nanoclusters, apart from being size-dependent, are strongly related to the nature of the protecting ligand. Ligand exchange on Au nanoclusters has been proven to be a powerful tool for tuning their properties, but has so far been limited to dissolved clusters in solution. By supporting the clusters previously functionalized in solution, it is uncertain that the functionality is still accessible once the cluster is on the surface. This may be overcome by introducing the desired functionality by ligand exchange after the cluster deposition on the support material. We herein report the first successful ligand exchange on supported (immobilized) Au11 nanoclusters. Dropcast films of Au11(PPh3)7Br3 on planar oxide surfaces were shown to react with thiol ligands, resulting in clusters with a mixed ligand shell, with both phosphines and thiolates being present. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy confirmed that the exchange just takes place on the cluster dropcast. Contrary to systems in solution, the size of the clusters did not increase during ligand exchange. Different structures/compounds were formed depending on the nature of the incoming ligand. The feasibility to extend ligand engineering to supported nanoclusters is proven and it may allow controlled nanocluster functionalization.

Abstract
A sustainable future demands innovative breakthroughs in science and technology today, especially in the energy sector. Earth-abundant resources can be explored and used to develop renewable and sustainable resources of energy to meet the ever-increasing global energy demand. Efficient solar-powered conversion systems exploiting inexpensive and robust catalytic materials for the photo- and photo-electro-catalytic water splitting, photovoltaic cells, fuel cells, and usage of waste products (such as CO2 ) as chemical fuels are appealing solutions. Many electrocatalysts and nanomaterials have been extensively studied in this regard. Low overpotentials, catalytic stability, and accessibility remain major challenges. Metal nanoclusters (NCs, ≤3 nm) with dimensions between molecule and nanoparticles (NPs) are innovative materials in catalysis. They behave like a "superatom" with exciting size- and facet-dependent properties and dynamic intrinsic characteristics. Being an emerging field in recent scientific endeavors, metal NCs are believed to replace the natural photosystem II for the generation of green electrons in a viable way to facilitate the challenging catalytic processes in energy-conversion schemes. This Review aims to discuss metal NCs in terms of their unique physicochemical properties, possible synthetic approaches by wet chemistry, and various applications (mostly recent advances in the electrochemical and photo-electrochemical water splitting cycle and the oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells). Moreover, the significant role that MNCs play in dye-sensitized solar cells and nanoarrays as a light-harvesting antenna, the electrochemical reduction of CO2 into fuels, and concluding remarks about the present and future perspectives of MNCs in the frontiers of surface science are also critically reviewed.

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.

Abstract
Ligand exchange with end-functionalized polymers is often applied to render nanoparticles with enhanced colloidal stability, to change the solubility in various environments, and/or to introduce new functionalities. Here we show that exchange of citrate molecules with α-trithiocarbonate-ω-carboxyl-terminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) can successfully stabilize spherical gold particles of different diameters ranging from 15 to 53 nm. This is verified by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and extinction spectroscopy. We show that the polymer-decorated nanoparticles respond to temperature and pH allowing access to control interparticle interactions. In a range of pH slightly below the pKa of the terminal carboxyl groups, phase transfer of the particles from water to chloroform can be mediated by increasing the dispersion temperature above the lower critical solution temperature of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). Upon cooling, fully reversible phase transfer to the water phase is observed. Extinction spectroscopy reveals phase transfer efficiencies close to 100% for every system under investigation.

Abstract
For the smallest nanostructures (<5 nm), small changes in structure can lead to significant changes in properties and reactivity. In the case of nanoparticle (NP)-functionalized electrodes, NP structure and composition, and the nature of the NP-electrode interface have a strong influence upon electrochemical properties that are critical in applications such as amperometric sensing, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. Existing methods to fabricate NP-functionalized electrodes do not allow for precise control over all these variables, especially the NP-electrode interface, making it difficult to understand and predict how structural changes influence NP activity. We investigated the electrochemical properties of small (dcore < 2.5 nm) gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on boron doped diamond electrodes using three different electrode fabrication techniques with varying degrees of nanoparticle-electrode interface definition. Two methods to attach AuNPs to the electrode through a covalently bound molecular linker were developed and compared to NP-functionalized electrodes fabricated using solution deposition methods (drop-casting and physiadsorption of a monolayer). In each case, a ferrocene redox probe was tethered to the AuNP surface to evaluate electron transfer through the AuNPs. The AuNPs that were molecularly interfaced with the electrode exhibited nearly ideal, reproducible electrochemical behavior with narrow redox peaks and small peak separations, whereas the solution deposited NPs had broader redox peaks with large peak separations. These data suggest that the molecular tether facilitates AuNP-mediated electron transfer. Interestingly, the molecularly tethered NPs also had significantly more electrochemically active surface area than the solution deposited NPs. The enhanced electrochemical behavior of the molecularly interfaced NPs demonstrates the significant influence of the interface on NP-mediated electron transfer and suggests that similar modified electrodes can serve as versatile platforms for studies and applications of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Here, an approach based on synchrotron resonant photoemission is employed to explore the transition between quantization and hybridization of the electronic structure in atomically precise ligand-stabilized nanoparticles. While the presence of ligands maintains quantization in Au25 clusters, their removal renders increased hybridization of the electronic states in the vicinity of the Fermi level. These observations are supported by DFT studies.

Abstract
The interactions of nanoparticles with biomolecules, surfaces, or other nanostructures are dictated by the nanoparticle's surface chemistry. Thus, far, shortcomings of syntheses of nanoparticles with defined ligand shell architectures have limited our ability to understand how changes in their surface composition influence reactivity and assembly. We report new synthetic approaches to systematically control the number (polyvalency), length, and steric interactions of omega-functionalized (targeting) ligands within an otherwise passivating (diluent) ligand shell. A mesofluidic reactor was used to prepare nanoparticles with the same core diameter for each of the designed ligand architectures. When the targeting ligands are malonamide groups, the nanoparticles assemble via cross-linking in the presence of trivalent lanthanides. We examined the influence of ligand composition on assembly by monitoring the differences in optical properties of the cross-linked and free nanoparticles. Infrared spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and solution small-angle X-ray scattering provided additional insight into the assembly behavior. Lower (less than 33%) malonamide ligand densities (where the binding group extends beyond the periphery of diluent ethylene glycol ligands) produce the strongest optical responses and largest assemblies. Surprisingly, nanoparticles containing a higher surface number of targeting ligand did not produce an optical response or assemble, underscoring the importance of an informed mixed ligand strategy for highest nanoparticle performance.

Abstract
A hexaphenylbenzene (HPB)-based derivative bearing thiol groups has been designed and synthesized that undergoes aggregation-induced emission enhancement in mixed aqueous media to form rodlike fluorescent aggregates. These rodlike aggregates behave as a "not quenched" probe for the detection of silver ions and further act as reactors and stabilizers for reducing-agent-free preparation of blue luminescent silver nanoclusters at room temperature. The utilization of fluorescent supramolecular aggregates for the preparation of Ag NCs in mixed aqueous media is unprecedented in the literature. Moreover, the wet chemical method that we are reporting in the present paper for the preparation of luminescent silver nanoclusters is better than the other methods reported in the literature. Further, these in situ generated Ag NCs showed exceptional catalytic activity in the preparation of pyrroles involving cocyclization of isocyanides and terminal alkynes. Interestingly, the catalytic efficiency of in situ generated Ag NCs was found to be better than the other catalytic systems reported in the literature.

Abstract
![]()
Ligand
exchange is frequently used to introduce new functional
groups on the surface of inorganic nanoparticles or clusters while
preserving the core size. For one of the smallest clusters, triphenylphosphine
(TPP)-stabilized undecagold, there are conflicting reports in the
literature regarding whether core size is retained or significant
growth occurs during exchange with thiol ligands. During an investigation
of these differences in reactivity, two distinct forms of undecagold
were isolated. The X-ray structures of the two forms, Au11(PPh3)7Cl3 and [Au11(PPh3)8Cl2]Cl, differ only in the number
of TPP ligands bound to the core. Syntheses were developed to produce
each of the two forms, and their spectroscopic features correlated
with the structures. Ligand exchange on [Au11(PPh3)8Cl2]Cl yields only small clusters, whereas
exchange on Au11(PPh3)7Cl3 (or mixtures of the two forms) yields the larger Au25 cluster. The distinctive features in the optical spectra of the
two forms made it possible to evaluate which of the cluster forms
were used in the previously published papers and clarify the origin
of the differences in reactivity that had been reported. The results
confirm that reactions of clusters and nanoparticles may be influenced
by small variations in the arrangement of ligands and suggest that
the role of the ligand shell in stabilizing intermediates during ligand
exchange may be essential to preventing particle growth or coalescence.

Abstract
A blue luminescent 11-atom platinum cluster showing step-like optical features and the absence of plasmon absorption was synthesized. The cluster was purified using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) suggest a composition, Pt11(BBS)8, which was confirmed by a range of other experimental tools. The cluster is highly stable and compatible with many organic solvents.

Abstract
A precisely controlled destabilization of gold thiolate clusters is demonstrated to grow 12 {110}-faceted gold dodecahedra with greatly enhanced catalytic capability, and reveal the growth mechanism by DFT simulations. This greatly advances our understanding of nanocrystal growth and opens a new window for controlling the dissociation of clusters to produce nanocrystals with specific shapes.

Abstract
Cancer chemotherapy is typically toxic. This problem could be addressed by using differences between cancer and normal cells for controlled delivery of drugs to cancer cells. One such difference is the ubiquitously elevated glutathione expression in cancer cells. We report a simple and versatile synthesis of water-soluble gold nanoparticles passivated with amine-containing molecules, which allow for controlled drug release via ligand exchange with bio-available glutathione. Taking methotrexate-passivated gold nanoparticles (Au:MTX) as an example, drug delivery and controlled release via glutathione-mediated ligand exchange was evaluated. Furthermore, the possibility of using Au:MTX to improve therapeutic index in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) models was examined in vitro and in vivo. Au:MTX exhibited cancer selectivity in vitro. Au:MTX had an elevated potency toward an AML cell line THP-1 in a dosage range of 1–5 nM, and therefore an enhanced delivery of drug, whereas normal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) growth was minimally affected by Au:MTX and MTX treatments within the same range of dosage. In vivo efficacy and safety of Au:MTX was evaluated in a murine xenotransplant model of primary human AML. Au:MTX treatment, compared to control groups including MTX-only and Au nanoparticle-only treatments, produced better leukemia suppression without added toxicity, indicating an enhanced therapeutic index.
