Atomically precise Cu clusters are highly desirable as catalysts for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), and they provide an appropriate model platform elaborating their structure-activity relationship. However, efficient overall photocatalytic RR with H2 O using assembled Cu-cluster aggregates single component photocatalyst has not been reported. Herein, we report a stable crystalline Cu-S-N cluster local protonated N-H groups (denoted Cu6 -NH). The catalyst exhibits suitable redox potentials,...
Copper clusters exhibit superior catalytic activity for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), and their defined structures endow them with unique advantages modelling mechanism at atomic level. Additionally, construction of highly stable regularly structured covalent organic frameworks (COFs) based on copper still presents significant challenges. Herein, we reported two reactive cluster‐based COFs (termed Cu4COF‐1 Cu4COF‐2) constructed via a stepwise assembly strategy. The epitaxially...

Seawater electrolysis is a promising route for hydrogen production using inexhaustible seawater resource. However, the chloride ion (Cl−)-induced corrosion and limited catalytic activity pose challenges to development of non-noble...
Zwitterionic catalytic model for ring-opening polymerization (ROP) was unveiled. Among the designed quaternary ammonium carboxylate zwitterionic catalysts, carnitine, a natural product zwitterion, showed optimal performance in ROPs of cyclic esters.
Abstract Atomically precise copper clusters are desirable as catalysts for elaborating the structure–activity relationships. The challenge, however, lies in their tendency to sinter when protective ligands removed, resulting destruction of structural integrity model system. Herein, a copper‐sulfur‐nitrogen cluster [Cu 8 (S t Bu) 4 (PymS) ] (denoted Cu SN ) is synthesized by using mixed ligand approach with strong chelating 2‐mercaptopyrimidine (PymSH) and relatively weak monodentate...
We synthesized a novel Cu8 cluster and employed it as building block to further obtain copper cluster-based MOF material (CCMOF). Compared with the precursor, periodically constructed CCMOF exhibited better structural stability, showed enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution performance due efficient mass/charge transportation benefitting from ordered porous framework structure. This two-step grafting construction strategy is of great significance exploration clusters in catalytic applications.
