Hydrides in metal complexes or nanoclusters are typically viewed as electron-withdrawing. Several recent reports have demonstrated the emergence of “electron-donating” hydrides tailoring structure, electronic and reactivity nanoclusters. However, number such included each cluster kernel is limited to one two. There even no structure model, neither theoretical nor experimental, for encapsulating a third electron-donating hydride into entity. Here, we present structurally precise superatomic...
Surface ligands play an important role in dictating the structure and catalytic properties of metal nanoclusters. Recently, a novel class Au clusters protected by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) halogens has been synthesized; however, dynamic stability Au-NHCs/Au-halogen interface real electrochemical environments as well influence ligand layer on process remains obscure. Herein, we combined first-principles simulations with experiments to investigate metal-ligand interaction classical...
A chloride-doped copper nanocluster, [ClCu 18 (RS) 16 (PPh 3 ) 4 ] + , has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The cluster demonstrates optical limiting effects, indicating the utility of clusters in materials science applications.
Structurally precise metal nanoclusters with a facile synthetic process and high catalytic performance have been long pursued. These atomically nanocatalysts are regarded as model systems to study structure-performance relationships, surface coordination chemistry, the reaction mechanism of heterogeneous catalysts. Nevertheless, research on silver-based for driving chemical transformations is sluggish in comparison gold counterparts. Herein, we report one-step synthesis Pt/Ag alloy...
Structured triacylglycerols (STAGs) with medium-chain fatty acids (FAs) at sn-1,3 positions and long-chain FAs the sn-2 position are known as medium-long-medium (MLM) type STAGs. They can not only provide energy immediately control weight effectively, but may also essential or beneficial to meet human needs. In this study, MLM STAGs were synthesized from lipase-catalyzed acidolysis of peony seed oil (PSO) octanoic acid (OcA) decanoic (DA) in solvent-free systems. Optimal reaction conditions...
The first gold–copper alloy cluster protected by both NHC and alkyne ligands was reported. displays interesting mechanochromic properties, highlighting the bright future of NHC-functionalized metal nanoclusters in materials science.
