Abstract
Ligand-protected metal clusters possess hybrid properties that seamlessly combine an inorganic core with an organic ligand shell, imparting them exceptional chemical flexibility and unlocking remarkable application potential in diverse fields. Leveraging chemical flexibility to expand the library of available materials and stimulate the development of new functionalities is becoming an increasingly pressing requirement. This Review focuses on the origin of chemical flexibility from the structural analysis, including intra-cluster bonding, inter-cluster interactions, cluster-environments interactions, metal-to-ligand ratios, and thermodynamic effects. In the introduction, we briefly outline the development of metal clusters and explain the differences and commonalities of M(I)/M(I/0) coinage metal clusters. Additionally, we distinguish the bonding characteristics of metal atoms in the inorganic core, which give rise to their distinct chemical flexibility. Section 2 delves into the structural analysis, bonding categories, and thermodynamic theories related to metal clusters. In the following sections 3 to 7, we primarily elucidate the mechanisms that trigger chemical flexibility, the dynamic processes in transformation, the resultant alterations in structure, and the ensuing modifications in physical-chemical properties. Section 8 presents the notable applications that have emerged from utilizing metal clusters and their assemblies. Finally, in section 9, we discuss future challenges and opportunities within this area.

Abstract
This perspective highlights advances in the preparation and understanding of metal nanoclusters stabilized by organic ligands with a focus on N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). We demonstrate the need for a clear understanding of the relationship between NHC properties and their resulting metal nanocluster structure and properties. We emphasize the importance of balancing nanocluster stability with the introduction of reactive sites for catalytic applications and the importance of a better understanding of how these clusters interact with their environments for effective use in biological applications. The impact of atom-scale simulations, development of atomic interaction potentials suitable for large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, and a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind synthetic methods and physical properties (e.g., the bright fluorescence displayed by many clusters) are emphasized.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2400238.

Abstract
The performance of Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy depends critically on the fluorescent probe. Ultrasmall Au nanoclusters (Au NCs) exhibit large Stokes shift, and good stimulated emission response, which are potentially useful for STED imaging. However, Au NCs are polydispersed in size, sensitive to the surrounding environment, and difficult to control surface functional group stoichiometry, which results in reduced density and high heterogeneity in the labeling of biological structures. Here, this limitation is overcome by developing a method to encapsulate ultrasmall Au NCs with DNA cages, which yielded monodispersed, and monofunctionalized Au NCs that are long-term stable. Moreover, the DNA-caging also greatly improved the fluorescence quantum yield and photostability of Au NCs. In STED imaging, the DNA-caged Au NCs yielded ≈40 nm spatial resolution and are able to resolve microtubule line shapes with good labeling density and homogeneity. In contrast, without caging, the Au NCs-DNA conjugates only achieved ≈55 nm resolution and yielded spotted, poorly resolved microtubule structures, due to the presence of aggregates. Overall, a method is developed to achieve precise surface functionalization and greatly improve the monodispersity, stability, as well as optical properties of Au NCs, providing a promising class of fluorescent probes for STED imaging.

Abstract
In this study, we successfully synthesized a small-sized gold nanocluster (2 nm) coated with homogeneous tripeptides bearing azido and amino groups that enable facile multifunctionalizations. Using sodium phenoxide to reduce tetrachloroauric(iii) acid in the presence of the cysteine-containing tripeptide, we efficiently prepared the gold nanoclusters without damaging the azido group. We then utilized this clickable bisreactive nanocluster as a versatile platform for synthesizing multifunctionalized gold nanomaterials. The resulting nanoclusters were conjugated with an anticancer compound connected to an indolizine moiety for photoinduced uncaging, a photodynamic therapy agent acting as a photosensitizer for uncaging, and a cyclic RGD peptide. The cytotoxicity of the multifunctionalized gold nanoclusters was demonstrated through red light irradiation of human lung cancer-derived A549 cells treated with the synthesized nanomaterials. The significant cytotoxicity exhibited by the cells underscores the potential utility of this method in advanced cancer therapies.

Abstract
As an interdisciplinary product, water-soluble gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) stabilized by ligands containing carboxyl (-COOH) group have garnered significant attention from synthetic chemists and biologists due to their immense potential for biomedical applications. However, revealing the crystallographic structures of -COOH-functionalized AuNCs remains a bottleneck. Herein, we successfully applied the salting-out method to obtain a series of high-quality single crystals of -COOH-functionalized Au25 nanoclusters and revealed their crystallographic structures. Particularly, K3Au25(2-Hmna)9(mna)6]- (Au25a) protected by 2-mercaptonicotinic acid features an unprecedented tetrameric Au4(SRS)3(SRS,N)2 staple motifs surrounding the icosahedral Au13 kernel, breaking the traditional perception on the structure of Au25(SR)18. Au25a exhibits a distinct near-infrared emission at 970 nm with long lifetime of 8690 ns, which have been studied by transient absorption spectroscopy and time-dependent density functional theory. This work compensates for the research gap in the experimental structure of -COOH-functionalized AuNCs and opens up a new avenue to explore their structure-property correlations.

Abstract
Atomically precise metal nanoclusters have received tremendous attention due to their unique structures and properties. Although synthetic approaches to this kind of nanomaterial have been well developed, methods toward precision functionalization of the as-synthesized metal nanoclusters are extremely limited, hindering their interfacial modification and related performance improvement. Herein, an amidation strategy has been developed for the precision functionalization of the Au11 nanocluster based on preorganized nitrogen sites. The nanocluster amidation did not change the number of gold atoms in the Au11 kernel and their bonding mode to the surface ligands but slightly modified the arrangement of gold atoms with the introduction of functionality and chirality, thus representing a relatively mild method for the modification of metal nanoclusters. The stability and oxidation barrier of the Au11 nanocluster are also improved accordingly. The method developed here would be a generalizable strategy for the precision functionalization of metal nanoclusters.

Abstract
Proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) is a promising therapeutic modality capable of degrading undruggable proteins and overcoming the shortcomings of traditional inhibitors. However, the molecular weight and pharmaceutical properties of PROTACs fall outside of a reasonable range. To overcome the inherent poor druggability of PROTACs, an intracellular self-assembly strategy based on bio-orthogonal reaction was proposed and applied in this study. Herein, two novel classes of intracellular precursors that can self-assemble into protein degraders through bio-orthogonal reactions were explored, including a novel class of E3 ubiquitin ligase ligands bearing tetrazine (E3L-Tz) and target protein ligands incorporated with norbornene (TPL-Nb). These two types of precursors could spontaneously undergo bio-orthogonal reactions in living cells, affording novel PROTACs. Among these precursors, the biological activities of PROTACs formed by target protein ligand with norbornene group (S4N-1) were more potent than others and degrade VEGFR-2, PDGFR-β and EphB4. The results demonstrated that a highly specific bio-orthogonal reaction driven intracellular self-assembly strategy in living cells could be utilized to improve the degradation activity of PROTACs.

Abstract
Silver thiolate nanoclusters have been functionalized with a chiral amino alcohol ligand that has previously shown high catalytic efficiency in different asymmetric reactions. The as-developed nanostructured catalyst, which can be easily recovered by simple centrifugation, has been tested in the addition of nitromethane to aromatic aldehydes, showing the same catalytic activity as the homogeneous ligand. Moreover, it was reused for two further recycling cycles without loss of efficiency. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of silver nanoclusters employed as a support for chiral ligands for heterogeneous phase asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
Developments in nanotechnology have made the creation of functionalized materials with atomic precision possible. Thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters, in particular, have become the focus of study in literature as they possess high stability and have tunable structure-property relationships. In addition to adjustments in properties due to differences in size and shape, heteroatom doping has become an exciting way to tune the properties of these systems by mixing different atomic d characters from transition metal atoms. Au24Pt(SR)18 clusters, notably, have shown incredible catalytic properties, but fall short in the field of photochemistry. The influence of the Pt dopant on the photoluminescence mechanism and excited state dynamics has been investigated by a few experimental groups, but the origin of the differences that arise due to doping has not been clarified thoroughly. In this paper, density functional theory methods are used to analyze the geometry, optical and photoluminescent properties of Au24Pt(SR)18 in comparison with those of [Au25(SR)18]1-. Furthermore, as these clusters have shown slightly different geometric and optical properties for different ligands, the analysis is completed with both hydrogen and propyl ligands in order to ascertain the role of the passivating ligands.

Abstract
Crystallization of atomically precise nanoclusters is gaining increasing attention, due to the opportunity of elucidating both intracluster and intercluster packing modes, and exploiting the functionality of the resulting highly pure crystallized materials. Herein, we report the design and single-crystal X-ray structure of a superfluorinated 20 kDa gold nanocluster, with an Au25 core coated by a shell of multi-branched highly fluorinated thiols (SF27) resulting in almost 500 fluorine atoms, i.e., ([Au25(SF27)18]0). The cluster shows a switchable solubility in the fluorous phase. X-ray analysis and computational studies reveal the key role of both intracluster and intercluster F···F contacts in driving [Au25(SF27)18]0 crystal packing and stabilization, highlighting the ability of multi-branched fluorinated thiols to endow atomically precise nanoclusters with remarkable crystallogenic behavior. The synthesis of atomically precise gold nanoclusters is highly desired for fundamental studies and applications. Here, the authors report the formation of a superfluorinated gold nanocluster stabilized by a multi-branched highly fluorinated thiol ligand, and characterize its crystal structure and molecule-like spectroscopic properties.

Abstract
Surface chemical reactions on atomically precise metal clusters have considerable attention for opening a new platform for cluster functionalization. In this study, basic Au25(4-PyET)18 (4-PyET = -SCH2CH2Py; Py = pyridyl) clusters were successfully transformed into cationized Au25(4-PyET-CH3+)x(4-PyET)18-x clusters, without altering their Au25 cores, through the Menshutkin SN2 reaction of their surface Py moieties. This study offers not only a simple cationization method but also a protocol for modifying the surface functionalities of molecular metal clusters via a synthetic reaction.

Abstract
An improved and simple synthetic method for producing stable narrow-sized glycine-cystamine (Gly-CSA)-functionalized Au nanoclusters (NCs) from protected Fmoc-glycine-cystamine (Fmoc-Gly-CSA)-functionalized Au NCs is demonstrated in this study. The NC size and size distribution can be controlled directly as a function of reducing agent concentration with the formation of smaller NC core diameters at higher concentrations of NaBH4. Furthermore, when using 0.30 M NaBH4, three UV-vis absorption peaks at 690, 440, and 390 nm were seen, which are consistent with the formation of Fmoc-Gly-CSA-functionalized Au25L18 NCs. After deprotection of the Gly-CSA-functionalized Au NCs, the reactivity of the primary amine groups was investigated. Methyl acrylate-glycine-cystamine (MA-Gly-CSA)-functionalized Au NCs with terminal acetyl groups were formed via the Michael addition reaction of terminal amine groups with methyl acrylate. This reaction resulted in the formation of ester-terminated Au NCs including atom-precise MA-Gly-CSA Au25(SR)18 NCs. The functionalization of the ligand was confirmed by 1H NMR and UV-vis spectra, and TEM images of MA-Gly-CSA- and Gly-CSA-functionalized Au NCs showed that the size of the NCs remained unchanged after the reaction. With controllable NC size and facile functionalization of the Gly-CSA-functionalized Au NCs, these clusters have promising potential as scaffolds for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Significant progress has been made in both fields of atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in recent years. A promising direction is to integrate these two classes of materials for creating unique composites with improved properties for catalysis and other applications. NCs incorporated with MOFs exhibit an optimized catalytic performance in many catalytic reactions, in which MOFs play a vital supporting role or as cocatalysts. In this Perspective, we first provide a brief summary of the methods that have been developed for the preparation of NCs/MOF composites and the characteristics of these strategies are analyzed. Following that, some recent works are highlighted to demonstrate the crucial role of MOF matrices in the enhancement of NCs catalytic properties. Finally, we outline some potentially important aspects for future work. This Perspective is in hopes of stimulating more interest in the research on the integration of NCs with MOFs toward functional materials.

Abstract
The polarization effect has been a powerful tool in controlling the morphology of metal nanoparticles. However, a precise investigation of the polarization effect has been a challenging pursuit for a long time, and little has been achieved for analysis at the atomic level. Here the atomic-level analysis of the polarization effect in controlling the morphologies of metal nanoclusters is reported. By simply regulating the counterions, the controllable transformation from Pt1Ag28(S-PhMe2)x(S-Adm)18−x(PPh3)4 (x = 0–6, Pt1Ag28-2) to Pt1Ag24(S-PhMe2)18 (Pt1Ag24) with a spherical configuration or to Pt1Ag28(S-Adm)18(PPh3)4 (Pt1Ag28-1) with a tetrahedral configuration has been accomplished. In addition, the spherical or tetrahedral configuration of the clusters could be reversibly transformed by re-regulating the proportion of counterions with opposite charges. More significantly, the configuration transformation rate has been meticulously manipulated by regulating the polarization effect of the ions on the parent nanoclusters. The observations in this paper provide an intriguing nanomodel that enables the polarization effect to be understood at the atomic level. Based on the inter-conversion between Pt1Ag24(SR)18 and Pt1Ag28(SR)18(PPh3)4, an insight into the polarization effect in controlling the morphology of metal nanoparticles is presented.![]()

Abstract
Determining excited state processes for small nanoclusters, specifically gold, aids in our ability to fine-tune luminescent materials and optical devices. Using TDDFT and TDDFT + TB, we present a detailed theoretical explanation for the dual emission peaks displayed in Au14Cd(S-Adm)12 (Adm = adamantane). As dual emission is relatively rare, we decipher whether the mechanism originates from two different excited states or from two different minima on the same excited state surface. This unique mechanism, which proposes that the dual emission results from two minima on the first excited state, stems from geometrical changes in the bi-tetrahedron core during the emission process.

Abstract
Atomically precise gold/silver clusters protected by organic ligands L, [(Au/Ag)x Ly ]z , have gained increasing interest as building units of functional materials because of their novel photophysical and physicochemical properties. The properties of [(Au/Ag)x Ly ]z are intimately associated with the quantized electronic structures of the metallic cores, which can be viewed as superatoms from the analogy of naked Au/Ag clusters. Thus, establishment of the correlation between the geometric and electronic structures of the superatomic cores is crucial for rational design and improvement of the properties of [(Au/Ag)x Ly ]z . This review article aims to provide a qualitative understanding on how the electronic structures of [(Au/Ag)x Ly ]z are affected by geometric structures of the superatomic cores with a focus on three factors: size, shape, and composition, on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The knowledge accumulated here will constitute a basis for the development of ligand-protected Au/Ag clusters as new artificial elements on a nanometer scale.

Abstract
We herein report the manipulation of the crystallographic packing modes of Pt1Ag28(S-Adm)18(PPh3)4 nanoclusters by altering counterions as different polyoxometalates (POMs). Specifically, the Cl- anion of the presynthesized Pt1Ag28 nanocluster was substituted by POM anions including [Mo6O19]2-, [W6O19]2-, or [PW12O40]3-. The crystal lattices of these Pt1Ag28 nanoclusters with diverse anions showed distinct packing modes and thus manifested remarkably distinguishable crystalline-state optical properties and nitrogen adsorption-desorption performances. Overall, the combination of intercluster control in this work and intracluster control reported previously (the control over metal-ligand within the nanocluster framework) accomplished a more comprehensive manipulation over the M29(SR)18(PR'3)4 nanocluster system, which enables us to further grasp the structure-property correlations at the atomic level.

Abstract
Highly efficient reactions that enable the assembly of molecules into complex structures have driven extensive progress in synthetic chemistry. In particular, reactions that occur under mild conditions and in benign solvents, while producing no by-products and rapidly reach completion are attracting significant attention. Amongst these, the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition, involving various cyclooctyne derivatives reacting with azide-bearing molecules, has gained extensive popularity in organic synthesis and bioorthogonal chemistry. This reaction has also recently gained momentum in polymer chemistry, where it has been used to decorate, link, crosslink, and even prepare polymer chains. This survey highlights key achievements in the use of this reaction to produce a variety of polymeric constructs for disparate applications.

Abstract
Recent advances in organic surface sensitization of metal oxide nanomaterials focused on two-step approaches with the first step providing a convenient functionalized chemical "hook", such as an alkyne functionality connected to a carboxylic group in prop-2-ynoic acid. The second step then took advantage of copper-catalyzed click chemistry to deliver the desired structure (such as benzyl or perylene) attached to an azide to react with the surface-bound alkyne. The use of this approach on CuO not only resulted in a successful morphology preserving chemical modification but also has demonstrated that surface Cu(I) can be obtained during the process and promote a surface-catalyzed click reaction without additional copper catalyst. Here, it is demonstrated that this surface-catalyzed chemistry can be performed on a surface of the CuO nanomaterial without a solvent, as a "dry click" reaction, as confirmed with spectroscopic and microscopic investigations with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, and scanning electron microscopy. Computational studies provided instructive information on the interaction between the surface prop-2-yonate and azide functional group to better understand the mechanism of this surface-catalyzed click reaction.

Abstract
Complexation of bicyclo[6.1.0]nonynes with a cationic silver or gold salt results in protection from a click reaction with azides. The cycloalkyne protection using the silver or gold salt enables selective strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloadditions of diynes keeping the bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne moiety unreacted.

Abstract
The weakly coordinated anionic nitrate ligands in a centrosymmetric Ag20 cluster are replaced in a stepwise manner by chiral amino acids and two achiral luminescent sulfonic-group-containing ligands while nearly maintaining the original silver(I) cage structure. This surface engineering enables the atomically precise Ag20 clusters to exhibit the high-efficiency synergetic effects of chirality and fluorescence, producing rare circularly polarized luminescence among the metal clusters with a large dissymmetry factor of (|glum|) ≈ 5 × 10-3. This rational approach using joint functional ligands further opens a new avenue to diverse multifunctional metal clusters for promising applications.

Abstract
Auration of o-trimethylsilyl arylphosphines leads to the formation of gold and gold-silver clusters with ortho-metalated phosphines displaying 3c-2e Au-C-M bonds (M=Au/Ag). Hexagold clusters [Au6 L4 ](X)2 are obtained by reaction of (L-TMS)AuCl with AgX, whereas reaction with AgX and Ag2 O leads to gold-silver clusters [Au4 Ag2 L4 ](X)2 . Oxo-trigold(I) species [Au3 O]+ were identified as the intermediates in the formation of the silver-doped clusters. Other [Au5 ], [Au4 Ag], and [Au12 Ag4 ] clusters were also obtained. Clusters containing PAu-Au-AuP structural motif display good catalytic activity in the activation of alkynes under homogeneous conditions.
