Abstract
In the dynamic landscape of nanotechnology, atomically precise silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) have emerged as a novel and promising category of materials with their fascinating properties and enormous potential. However, recent research endeavors have surged towards stabilizing Ag-based NCs, leading to innovative strategies like connecting cluster nodes with organic linkers to construct hierarchical structures, thus forming Ag-based cluster-assembled materials (CAMs). This approach not only enhances structural stability, but also unveils unprecedented opportunities for CAMs, overcoming the limitations of individual Ag NCs. In this context, this review delves into the captivating realm of atomically precise nitrogen-based ligand bonded Ag(I)-based CAMs, providing insights into synthetic strategies, structure-property relationships, and diverse applications. We navigate the challenges and advancements in integrating Ag(I) cluster nodes, bound by argentophilic interactions, into highly connected periodic frameworks with different dimensionalities using nitrogen-based linkers. Despite the inherent diversity among cluster nodes, Ag(I) CAMs demonstrate promising potential in sensing, catalysis, bio-imaging, and device fabrication, which all are discussed in this review. Therefore, gaining insight into the silver nanocluster assembly process will offer valuable information, which can enlighten the readers on the design and advancement of Ag(I) CAMs for state-of-the-art applications.

Abstract
The exploration of individual nanoclusters is rapidly advancing, despite stability concerns. To address this challenge, the assembly of cluster nodes through linker molecules has been successfully implemented. However, the linking of the cluster nodes itself introduces a multitude of possibilities, especially when additional factors come into play. While this method proves effective in enhancing material stability, the specific reasons behind its success remain elusive. In our laboratory, we have undertaken extensive studies on Ag cluster-assembled materials. So, here our goal is to establish a model system that allows for the discernment of various factors, eliminating unnecessary complexities during the linking approach. So, we hope that the systematic discourse presented in here will contribute significantly to future endeavors, helping to set clear priorities, and provide solutions to concerns that arise when working with a model system.

Abstract
We have synthesized single crystals of a highly stable Ag8 nanocluster protected by six ligands of diphenyl-2-phosphinic pyridine (DPPY) plus six ligands of phenylacetylene (PhCC). This Ag8(DPPY)6(PhCC)6 cluster bears a triangular superatomic Ag8 core, with the vertex and edge Ag atoms (quasi-triangle Ag6) being protected by both P and N bidentate coordination of the six DPPY ligands; meanwhile, the six PhCC ligands via μ3-C coordination form coordination on the two central Ag atoms capped on both sides of the triangle facet. Apart from the well-organized coordination of the two ligands pertaining to the balanced interactions with the Ag8 core, this Ag8 nanocluster exhibits superatomic stability with two delocalized valence electrons (1S2||1P0), assuming that the six PhCC ligands fix 6 localized electrons from the Ag atoms. Interestingly, the Ag8(DPPY)6(PhCC)6 NCs display temperature-dependent dual emissions at 330 and 535 nm under deep ultraviolet excitation. TD-DFT calculations reproduced the experimental spectrum, shedding light on the nature of excitation states and metal-ligand interactions in such a superatomic metal cluster.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (NCs) are gaining much attention in nanoscale materials research because they exhibit size-specific physicochemical properties that are not observed in the corresponding bulk metals. Among them, silver (Ag) NCs can be precisely synthesized not only as pure Ag NCs but also as anion-templated Ag NCs. For anion-templated Ag NCs, we can expect the following capabilities: 1) size and shape control by regulating the central anion (anion template); 2) stabilization by adjusting the charge interaction between the central anion and surrounding Ag atoms; and 3) functionalization by selecting the type of central anion. In this review, we summarize the synthesis methods and influences of the central anion on the geometric structure of anion-templated Ag NCs, which include halide ions, chalcogenide ions, oxoanions, polyoxometalate, or hydride/deuteride as the central anion. This summary provides a reference for the current state of anion-templated Ag NCs, which may promote the development of anion-templated Ag NCs with novel geometric structures and physicochemical properties.

Abstract
Owing to the quantized size and associated discrete energy levels, atomically precise silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) hold great potential for designing functional luminescent materials. However, the thermally activated non-radiative transition of Ag(I)-based NCs has faded the opportunities. To acquire the structurally rigid architecture of cluster nodes for constraining such transitions, a new synthetic approach is unveiled here that utilizes a neutral template as a cluster-directing agent to assemble twenty Ag(I) atoms that ensure the maximum number of surface-protecting ligand attachment possibilities in a particular solvent medium. The solvent polarity triggers the precise structural design to circumvent the over-reliance of the templates, which results in the formation of [CO2@Ag20(SAdm)10(CF3COO)10(DMA)2] NC (where SAdm = 1-adamantanethiolate and DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide) exhibiting an unprecedented room-temperature photoluminescence emission. The high quantum yield of the generated blue emission ensures its candidature as an ideal donor for artificial light-harvesting system design, and it is utilized with the two-step sequential energy transfer process, which finally results in the generation of ideal white light. For implementing perfect white light emission, the required chromophores in the green and red emission regions were chosen based on their effective spectral overlap with the donor components. Due to their favorable energy-level distribution, excited state energy transfers occurred from the NC to β-carotene at the initial step, then from the conjugate of the NC and β-carotene to another chromophore, Nile Blue, at the second step via a sequential Förster resonance energy transfer pathway.

Abstract
To acquire the atomic design of new functional Ag(i) nanoclusters (NCs), a new synthetic approach of site-specific alloying has been unveiled, by which the neutral CO2 templated Ag20 core is confined through Cu containing two peripheral motif units. The impact of surface charge, size and shape of the template on the self-assembly of Ag(i) has been precisely controlled here for the first time and as a result, a similar pentagonal gyrobicupola-like Ag20 core is formed while varying the templates (S2-, CO3 2- and CO2). However, the surface charge generated on the Ag(i) core due to the presence of a neutral template opens up the possibility of this novel alloying process. The introduction of strongly interacted peripheral motif units (DMA-CuS-) on the Ag20 core enforces more rigidity in the skeleton that reduces the probability of non-radiative transition in the excited state by lowering the intramolecular vibration. In addition to this, the incorporation of electron-donating peripheral motif units modulates the frontier molecular arrangement that helps in attaining the synergy which would ultimately turn on the room-temperature emission properties. The electron-donating effect of the peripheral motif units further leads to a sharp reduction of the bandgap and the symmetric position of the heterometal in the cluster minimizes the intercluster distances which further influences the intercluster charge carrier transport. So, the precise structure-property correlation with this novel synthetic approach will pave the way for a well-functioning NC design.

Abstract
Designing an artificial light-harvesting system (LHS) with high energy transfer efficiency has been a challenging task. Herein, we report an atom-precise silver nanocluster (Ag NC) as a unique platform to fabricate the artificial LHS. A facile one-pot synthesis of [Cl@Ag16S(S-Adm)8(CF3COO)5(DMF)3(H2O)2]·DMF (Ag16) NC by using a bulky adamantanethiolate ligand is portrayed here which, in turn, alleviates the issues related to the smaller NC core designed from a highly steric environment. The surface molecular motion of this NC extends the non-radiative relaxation rate which is strategically restricted by a recognition site-specific supramolecular adduct with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) that results in the generation of a blue emission. This emission property is further controlled by the number of attached β-CD which eventually imposes more rigidity. The higher emission quantum yield and the larger emission lifetime relative to the lesser numbered β-CD conjugation signify Ag16 ∩ β-CD2 as a good LHS donor component. In the presence of an organic dye (β-carotene) as an energy acceptor, an LHS is fabricated here via the Förster resonance energy transfer pathway. The opposite charges on the surfaces and the matched electronic energy distribution result in a 93% energy transfer efficiency with a great antenna effect from the UV-to-visible region. Finally, the harvested energy is utilized successfully for efficient photocurrent generation with much-enhanced yields compared to the individual components. This fundamental investigation into highly-efficient energy transfer through atom-precise NC-based systems will inspire additional opportunities for designing new LHSs in the near future.

Abstract
Screening of AgNO3/AgStBu solutions in DMF, DMSO and NMP resulted in the isolation of three novel nanosized silver/thiolate complexes with a torus-like {Ag20(StBu)10} core. The structures of [NO3@Ag20(StBu)10(NO3)9(DMF)6] (1) and [NO3@Ag20(tBuS)10(NO3)8(NMP)8][NO3@Ag19(tBuS)10(NO3)8(NMP)6]2(NO3) (2) were studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). The self-assembly process leading to 1 can be switched to a different outcome using Br-, resulting in [Br@Ag16(StBu)8(NO3)5(DMF)3](NO3)2 (3), which is the one of the few genuine host-guest complexes in the silver/thiolate systems. Solutions of the individual complexes in CH3CN were studied by HR-ESI-MS techniques, which revealed a dynamic behavior for each complex, driven by a redistribution of the {AgNO3} units. This dynamics results in the appearance of both cationic and anionic species, based on unchanged silver-thiolate cores. Daylight causes degradation of 3 with the formation of a composite material based on defective orthorhombic Ag2S with a porous morphology, as observed using the SEM technique. The electrocatalytic HER activity of such a material was studied.

Metal nanoclusters (NCs), which consist of several, to about one hundred, metal atoms, have attracted much attention as functional nanomaterials for use in nanotechnology. Because of their fine particle size, metal NCs exhibit physical/chemical properties and functions different from those of the corresponding bulk metal. In recent years, many techniques to precisely synthesize metal NCs have been developed. However, to apply these metal NCs in devices and as next-generation materials, it is necessary to assemble metal NCs to a size that is easy to handle. Recently, multiple techniques have been developed to form one-, two-, and three-dimensional connected structures (CSs) of metal NCs through self-assembly. Further progress of these techniques will promote the development of nanomaterials that take advantage of the characteristics of metal NCs. This review summarizes previous research on the CSs of metal NCs. We hope that this review will allow readers to obtain a general understanding of the formation and functions of CSs and that the obtained knowledge will help to establish clear design guidelines for fabricating new CSs with desired functions in the future.

Abstract
The spontaneous formation of discrete spherical nanosized molecules is prevalent in nature, but the authentic structural mimicry of such highly symmetric polyhedra from edge sharing of regular polygons has remained elusive. Here we present a novel ball-shaped {(HNEt3)[Ag37S4(SC6H4(t)Bu)24(CF3COO)6(H2O)12]} cluster () that is assembled via a one-pot process from polymeric {(HNEt3)2[Ag10(SC6H4(t)Bu)12]}n and CF3COOAg. Single crystal X-ray analysis confirmed that is a Td symmetric spherical molecule with a [Ag36(SC6H4(t)Bu)24] anion shell enwrapping a AgS4 tetrahedron. The shell topology of belongs to one of 13 Archimedean solids, a truncated tetrahedron with four edge-shared hexagons and trigons, which are supported by a AgS4 Platonic solid in the core. Interestingly, the cluster emits green luminescence centered at 515 nm at room temperature. Our investigations have provided a promising synthetic protocol for a high-nuclearity silver cluster based on underlying geometrical principles.

Abstract
A polyoxometalate-templated silver thiolate nanocluster, [Ag62(S(t)Bu)40(Mo20O66)(Mo6O19)3(CH3CN)2]·(CF3SO3)4 (1), has been isolated, in which a giant peanut-like silver(i)-thiolate cluster [Ag62(S(t)Bu)40](22+) encapsulates an unprecedented [Mo20O66](12-) polyoxoanion core. It opens a new approach for the synthesis of both elusive polyoxometalates and high-nuclearity silver(i)-thiolate nanoclusters.
