Subtle tailoring of gold nanoclusters (NCs) could significantly change their physicochemical properties. However, direct comparison the catalytic performance NCs with identical metal cores but distinct ligand shells is rarely elucidated. In this work, a novel NC, Au28 (C2 B10 H11 S)12 (tht)4 Cl4 (Au28 -S), was isolated by facile self-reducing synthesis. -S adopts an framework to that reported alkynyl-protected -C. The different protective layers lead distinctions in electronic structure and...

Heptazine derivatives have attracted significant interest due to their small S1-T1 gap, which contributes unique electronic and optical properties. However, the nature of lowest excited state remains ambiguous. In present study, we characterize transition heptazine by its magnetic dipole moment. To measure moment, flat must be chiroptically active, is difficult achieve for single molecules. Therefore, used supramolecular polymerization as an approach make homochiral stacks derivatives. Upon...
