Abstract
CONTEXT The structures of Ag2n-1Sn- (n = 2-11) clusters are obtained by the combination of genetic algorithm (GA) and density functional theory (DFT). All the global minimum structures prefer hollow polyhedral structures, in which S-Ag-S element, triangular Ag3S3 and tetragonal Ag4S4 units present to stabilize the structures. The S atoms in the structures appear in μ3-S or μ4-S form. Adiabatic and vertical electron affinities of the clusters have been obtained, which reveals that they increases as cluster size. Stability analysis shows that Ag9S5- and Ag19S10- have special stability. The HOMO, LUMO orbitals of the clusters are obtained and the orbital components of them are calculated. The HOMO orbitals are mainly from the p orbitals of S atoms, whereas the s, p and d orbitals of Ag atoms contribute much bigger than the p orbitals of S atoms for LUMO orbitals. The orbital delocalization indexes (ODI) of the HOMOs and LUMOs are calculated, and the small ODIs of the HOMOs and LUMOs for n = 4-10 reveal that these orbitals are highly delocalized. By studying the projected density of states and molecular orbitals of Ag9S5- and Ag19S10- clusters, it is found that their molecular orbitals have superatomic properties. Superatomic properties play an important role in stabilizing clusters. METHODS This work used combined genetic algorithm and density functional theory (GA-DFT), and PBE0/Lanl2tz(Ag)/6-311G(d,p)(S) method to optimize the structures. Gaussian 16 program, Gauss view 6.0.16 program and Multiwfn 3.8 code are the softwares used.

Abstract
Polynuclear silver clusters have attracted intensive attention in the academic community owing to their rich physicochemical properties. The development of thione-protected silver clusters has been lagging behind the well-explored thiolate-protected silver-sulfide clusters. Herein, we report two N-heterocyclic thione-protected silver clusters: [Ag4(2-TBI)6(SO4)3]2- (Ag4) and [Br@Ag8(2-TBI)12(SO4)2]3+ (Ag8) (2-TBI = 2-thiobenzimidazol), which cocrystallize to form cluster-based molecular crystals with a CaF2-type structure. The cocrystal shows high thermal stability in air. Notably, the two cluster-based layers are alternately assembled to exhibit a unique k-vector-differential crystallographic arrangement. This work may lay a foundation for synthesis of atomically precise and stable silver clusters using readily available N-heterocyclic thione ligands.

Abstract
Stepwise assembly starting from a preassembled metalloligand is a promising approach to obtain otherwise unattainable silver nanoclusters, but hard to be intrinsically identified due to the lack of convincing evidence to justify such a process. Herein, hexagonal and rectangular Ag18 nanoclusters are constructed from the [Mo2 O5 (PTC4A)2 ]6- (H4 PTC4A=p-phenyl-thiacalix[4]arene) metalloligand through stepwise assembly. The formation of the metalloligand is confirmed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, then assembled with silver ions to form two geometrically different Ag18 nanoclusters in different solvents. The cyclization from the metalloligand to [(Mo2 O5 PTC4A)6 ]12- can be realized without alcohols and otherwise blocked by them. The installation of this metalloligand not only provides comprehensive understanding of how the solvents regulate the silver nanocluster structures, but also brings new insights for the controllable ligand metallization and subsequent condensation.

Abstract
It is well known that structure determines property, but obtaining a pair of silver nanoclusters with comparable structures to understand the structure-property relationship is a very challenging task. A new 60-nuclei silver nanocluster (SD/Ag60a) protected by a mixed-ligand shell of tBuS- and o-CH3OPhCOO- was obtained and characterized. Single crystal x-ray diffraction reveals that SD/Ag60a has an identical metal nuclearity and core-shell structural type to SD/Ag1 previously reported by our group, whereas the compositions of the core and shell have undergone a rearrangement from an Ag12 cuboctahedron core and an Ag48 rhombicuboctahedron shell in SD/Ag1 to an Ag14 rhombic dodecahedron core and an oval Ag46 shell in SD/Ag60a. The core enlargement from Ag12 to Ag14 originates from the replacement of two S2- in Ag12S15 by two Ag+, which gives a new Ag14S13 core. This result indicates that the metal frameworks of silver nanoclusters have some extent flexibility despite the same nuclearity, which can be influenced by ligands, solvents, anion templates, and others in the embryonic stage of the assembly. Interestingly, different core-shell architectures of Ag60 nanoclusters also significantly endow the different optical absorption bands, photocurrent-generating properties, and luminesecent behaviors. This work not only realizes the regulation of the core-shell structure of silver nanoclusters with the same nuclearity but also provides a comparable model for investigating the relationship of structure-photoelectric properties.

Abstract
Structural transformations of nanoclusters provide a platform to tune their properties and understand the fundamental science due to their intimate structure-property correlation. Here, we present an alkynyl ligand-exchange induced growth of atomically precise silver(I) clusters, which are particularly of interest because of their luminescence response at room temperature. SCXRD and UV-vis map out the growth steps of the cluster from [Ag32S3(CCBut)23]3+ featuring a pseudo-D3h concave Ag32S3 to [Ag45S6(CCPhBr)32]+ with a pseudo-Oh core-shell Ag9S6@Ag24@Ag12, which is driven by a thermodynamic route under the disruption of ligands. To our knowledge, the findings in this work establish the first example of ligand-exchange as a versatile tool for tuning the size and luminescence of semiconductor silver(I) clusters.

Abstract
Atomically precise silver clusters with tunable photoluminescence (PL) properties have attracted extensive attention due to their great value for basic science and future applications. Here, we report that the addition of a sulfido template into a triangular thiolated silver cluster [Ag11(iPrS)9(dppb)3]·2CF3SO3·CH3OH (Ag11, dppb = 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane), which is emissive at 660 nm under ambient conditions, produced another silver cluster [S@Ag15(sBuS)12(dppb)3]·CF3SO3·H2O (Ag15) that displays 716 nm emission with a 56 nm redshift aided by the ligand sec-butyl mercaptan. The sulfido template, which affects the geometrical and electronic structures, results in a redshift of Ag11 room-temperature PL as a result of opening up the template-to-metal charge transfer (TMCT) and disturbing the electronic transition between the metal core and ligands at the periphery.

Abstract
Constructing silver(i)-thiolate clusters from simple building blocks usually involves elusive self-assembly processes and remains a long-standing challenge. In this work, we report 6 silver(i)-thiolate clusters protected by pyridines, namely, [Ag3(tBuS)2(Py)(NO3)]n (Py = pyridine) (1), [Ag10(tBuS)6(Py)6(CF3CO2)4]·3Py (2), [Ag12(iPrS)6(Py)8(NO3)6]·2H2O (3), Ag12(iPrS)6(Py)8(CF3CO2)6 (4), Ag12(iPrS)6(4-ap)6(NO3)6 (4-ap = 4-aminopyridine) (5), and [Ag50S13(tBuS)20(Py)12]·4BF4·4Py·4CH3OH·2H2O (6). Single-crystal X-ray crystallography analysis reveals that six clusters are constructed by four types of structural blocks, including the PyAg(tBuS)2 monomer, Py2Ag2(tBuS)2 dimer, Py3Ag3(tBuS)3 trimer and (4-ap)6Ag6(iPrS)6 hexamer. Notably, cluster 6 consists of a rhombic dodecahedron S@Ag14 kernel with 12 interstitial S2- atoms encapsulated by 8 μ4-tBuS- ligands, as well as six unique butterfly-like (Py)2Ag6(tBuS)2 staple motifs composed of a Py2Ag2(tBuS)2 dimer and four silver ions. Moreover, it is found that pyridine ligands have important influence on the construction of silver thiolate clusters and their Ag-SR bond lengths.
