Here we report a neutral fullerene-like core–shell homosilver Ag13@ Ag20 nanocluster that
is fully protected by an achiral bidentate thiolate ligand (9, 12-dimercapto-1, 2-closo …

Chiral metal clusters with atomically precise structure are considered as promising
candidates for disclosing the chirality origin and potential chiroptical applications compared …

A series of chiral Au13 nanoclusters were synthesized via the direct reduction of chiral
dinuclear Au (I) halide complexes ligated by chiral dioxalone-linked bis-N-heterocyclic …

Accomplishing optical activity in achiral materials has long been a challenge. Achiral
nanomaterials that crystallize in achiral point groups are generally optically inactive. Herein …

Atomically precise copper (I) nanoclusters (CuNCs) with high photoluminescence (PL)
efficiency and a relatively short lifetime could be promising non-precious metal-based …

Conspectus There exists a special kind of perfection—in symmetry, simplicity, and stability—
attainable for structures generated from precisely 60 ligands (all of a single type) that protect …

Organic chiral nanofilaments are part of an important class of nanoscale chiral materials that
has recently been receiving significant attention largely due to their potential use in …
