Abstract
Oxidation contributes as a secondary driver of the prevailing carbon emission in the chemical industries. To address this issue, photocatalytic aerobic oxidation has emerged as a promising alternative. However, the challenge of achieving satisfactory chemoselectivity and effective use of solar light has hindered progress in this area. In this context, the present study introduces a novel homogeneous photocatalyst, [Sm6O(OH)8(H2O)24]I8(H2O)8 cluster (Sm-OC), via a unique auxiliary ligand-free oxidative hydrolysis. Using Sm-OC as catalyst, a solar photocatalyzed aerobic oxidation of thiols has been developed for the synthesis of valuable disulfides. Remarkably, this catalyst manifested a significant turnover number ≥2000 under tested conditions. Sm-OC-catalyzed aerobic oxidation showcased remarkable chemoselectivity. In thiol oxidations, despite the vulnerability of disulfides toward overoxidation, overoxidized byproducts or oxidation of nontarget functional groups was not detected across all 28 tested substrates. This investigation presents the first application of a lanthanide-oxo/hydroxy cluster in photocatalysis.

Abstract
Two closely related yet distinctly different cationic clusters, [Dy52Ni44(HEIDA)36(OH)138(OAc)24(H2O)30]10+ (1) and [Dy112Ni76(HEIDA)44(EIDA)24(IDA)4(OH)268(OAc)48(H2O)44]4+ (2) (HEIDA=N-(2-hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetate), each featuring a multi-shell core of Platonic and Archimedean polyhedra, were obtained. Depending on the specific conditions used for the co-hydrolysis of Dy3+ and Ni2+, the product can be crystallized out as one particular type of cluster or as a mixture of 1 and 2. How the reaction process was affected by the amount of hydrolysis-facilitating base and/or by the reaction temperature and duration was investigated. It has been found that a reaction at a high temperature and/or for an extended period favors the formation of the compact and thermodynamically more stable 1, while a brief reaction with a large amount of the base is good for the kinetic product 2. By tuning these intertwining conditions, the reaction can be regulated toward a particular product.

Abstract
Gadolinium hydroxide (Gd(OH)3) was synthesized via a microwave-assisted synthesis method. Nickel ion (Ni2+) was doped into Gd(OH)3, in which 4-12% Ni-Gd(OH)3 was synthesized, to study the effect of doping. The structural, optical, and morphological properties of the synthesized materials were analyzed. The crystallite sizes of the hexagonal structure of Gd(OH)3 and Ni-Gd(OH)3, which were 17-30 nm, were obtained from x-ray diffraction analysis. The vibrational modes of Gd(OH)3 and Ni-Gd(OH)3 were confirmed using Raman and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopies. The band gap energy was greatly influenced by Ni-doping, in which a reduction of the band gap energy from 5.00 to 3.03 eV was observed. Transmission electron microscopy images showed nanorods of Gd(OH)3 and Ni-Gd(OH)3 and the particle size increased upon doping with Ni2+. Photocatalytic degradations of brilliant green (BG) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) under UV light irradiation were carried out. In both experiments, 12% Ni-Gd(OH)3 showed the highest photocatalytic response in degrading BG and 4-NP, which is about 92% and 69%, respectively. Therefore, this study shows that Ni-Gd(OH)3 has the potential to degrade organic pollutants.

Abstract
Metal-oxo clusters hold great potential in several fields such as catalysis, materials science, energy storage, medicine, and biotechnology. These nanoclusters of transition metals with oxygen-based ligands have also shown promising reactivity towards several classes of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, nucleotides, sugars, and lipids. This reactivity can be leveraged to address some of the most pressing challenges we face today, from fighting various diseases, such as cancer and viral infections, to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources. For instance, metal-oxo clusters and related materials have been shown to be effective catalysts for biomass conversion into renewable fuels and platform chemicals. Furthermore, their reactivity towards biomolecules has also attracted interest in the development of inorganic drugs and bioanalytical tools. Additionally, the structural versatility of metal-oxo clusters allows for the efficiency and selectivity of the biomolecular reactions they promote to be readily tuned, thereby providing a pathway towards reaction optimization. The properties of the catalyst can also be improved through incorporation into solid supports or by linking metal-oxo clusters together to form Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), which have been demonstrated to be powerful heterogeneous catalysts. Therefore, this review aims to provide a comprehensive and critical analysis of the state of the art on biomolecular transformations promoted by metal-oxo clusters and their applications, with a particular focus on structure-activity relationships.

Abstract
Metal-containing clusters have attracted increasing attention over the past 2-3 decades. This intense interest can be attributed to the fact that these discrete metal aggregates, whose atomically precise structures are resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), often possess intriguing geometrical features (high symmetry, aesthetically pleasing shapes and architectures) and fascinating physical properties, providing invaluable opportunities for the intersection of different disciplines including chemistry, physics, mathematical geometry and materials science. In this review, we attempt to reinterpret and connect these fascinating clusters from the perspective of Platonic and Archimedean solid characteristics, focusing on highly symmetrical and complex metal-containing (metal = Al, Ti, V, Mo, W, U, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au, lanthanoids (Ln), and actinoids) high-nuclearity clusters, including metal-oxo/hydroxide/chalcogenide clusters and metal clusters (with metal-metal binding) protected by surface organic ligands, such as thiolate, phosphine, alkynyl, carbonyl and nitrogen/oxygen donor ligands. Furthermore, we present the symmetrical beauty of metal cluster structures and the geometrical similarity of different types of clusters and provide a large number of examples to show how to accurately describe the metal clusters from the perspective of highly symmetrical polyhedra. Finally, knowledge and further insights into the design and synthesis of unknown metal clusters are put forward by summarizing these "star" molecules.

Abstract
Silver complexes with proteinogenic amino acid ligands are of interest for biomedical and antimicrobial applications. In this work, we obtained {[Ag7(l-his)4](NO3)3·3H2O}0.2{[Ag8(l-his)4(H2O)2](NO3)4·3H2O}0.8 (1) and {[Ag7(d-his)4](NO3)3·3H2O}0.2{[Ag8(d-his)4(H2O)2](NO3)4·3H2O}0.8 (2), which represent the first example of any Ag-exclusive complex featuring a cluster-type core motif and with only proteinogenic amino acid ligands. Upon immersion into acetonitrile, an interesting single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation occurred to produce a new cluster complex of the formula [Ag8(l-his)4(NO3)(H2O)](NO3)3 (3). Using a racemic mixture of histidine, the reaction under otherwise identical conditions led to the production of the second example of a three-dimensional (3D) network structured Ag-exclusive complex with only a proteinogenic amino acid ligand. Compared with other Ag-histidine complexes in the literature, the significance of reaction conditions, particularly the Ag/histidine ratio and pH of the reaction mixture, is revealed. Temperature-dependent emission of 1 and 2 at 440 nm characteristic of silver-philophilic interactions was also observed.
