Abstract
Surface ligands play crucial roles in modifying the properties of metal nanoclusters and stabilizing atomically precise structures, and also serve as vital linkers for constructing cluster-based coordination polymers. In this study, we present the results of the solvothermal synthesis of eight novel copper alkynyl clusters incorporating pyridine ligands using a one-pot method. The resulting compounds underwent characterization through elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). Our observations revealed that distinct pyridine ligands with varying lengths and coordination sites exert significant influence on the structure and dimensionality of the clusters. The structural diversity of these clusters led to the formation of one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), or dimer arrangements linked by seven pyridine bridging ligands. Remarkably, these complexes exhibited unique UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence properties, which were influenced by the specific bridging ligand and structural framework. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated the capability of the conjugated system in the pyridine ligand to impact the band gap of clusters. This study not only unveils the inherent structural diversity in coordination polymers based on copper alkynyl clusters but also offers valuable insights into harnessing ligand engineering for structural and property modulation.

Abstract
In the dynamic landscape of nanotechnology, atomically precise silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) have emerged as a novel and promising category of materials with their fascinating properties and enormous potential. However, recent research endeavors have surged towards stabilizing Ag-based NCs, leading to innovative strategies like connecting cluster nodes with organic linkers to construct hierarchical structures, thus forming Ag-based cluster-assembled materials (CAMs). This approach not only enhances structural stability, but also unveils unprecedented opportunities for CAMs, overcoming the limitations of individual Ag NCs. In this context, this review delves into the captivating realm of atomically precise nitrogen-based ligand bonded Ag(I)-based CAMs, providing insights into synthetic strategies, structure-property relationships, and diverse applications. We navigate the challenges and advancements in integrating Ag(I) cluster nodes, bound by argentophilic interactions, into highly connected periodic frameworks with different dimensionalities using nitrogen-based linkers. Despite the inherent diversity among cluster nodes, Ag(I) CAMs demonstrate promising potential in sensing, catalysis, bio-imaging, and device fabrication, which all are discussed in this review. Therefore, gaining insight into the silver nanocluster assembly process will offer valuable information, which can enlighten the readers on the design and advancement of Ag(I) CAMs for state-of-the-art applications.

Abstract
The exploration of individual nanoclusters is rapidly advancing, despite stability concerns. To address this challenge, the assembly of cluster nodes through linker molecules has been successfully implemented. However, the linking of the cluster nodes itself introduces a multitude of possibilities, especially when additional factors come into play. While this method proves effective in enhancing material stability, the specific reasons behind its success remain elusive. In our laboratory, we have undertaken extensive studies on Ag cluster-assembled materials. So, here our goal is to establish a model system that allows for the discernment of various factors, eliminating unnecessary complexities during the linking approach. So, we hope that the systematic discourse presented in here will contribute significantly to future endeavors, helping to set clear priorities, and provide solutions to concerns that arise when working with a model system.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) represent crucial intermediates in the formation of insoluble metal oxides from soluble metal ions, however, the rapid hydrolysis-condensation kinetics of MoVI or WVI makes the direct characterization of coexisted molecular species in a given medium extremely difficult. Silver nanoclusters have shown versatile capacity to encapsulate diverse POMs, which provides an alternative scene to appreciate landscape of POMs in atomic precision. Here, we report a thiacalix[4]arene protected silver nanocluster (Ag72b) that simultaneously encapsulates three kinds of molybdates (MoO4 2- , Mo6 O22 8- and Mo7 O25 8- ) in situ transformed from classic Lindqvist Mo6 O19 2- , providing more deep understanding on the structural diversity and condensation growth route of POMs in solution. Ag72b is the first silver nanocluster trapping so many kinds of molybdates, which in turn exert collective template effect to aggregate silver atoms into a nanocluster. The post-reaction of Ag72b with AgOAc or PhCOOAg produces a discrete Ag24 nanocluster (Ag24a) or an Ag28 nanocluster based 1D chain structure (Ag28a), respectively. Moreover, the post-synthesized Ag28a can be utilized as potential ignition material for further application. This work not only provides an important model for unlocking dynamic features of POMs at atom-precise level but also pioneers a promising approach to synthesize silver nanoclusters from known to unknown.

Abstract
Metalloligands provide a potent strategy for manipulating the surface metal arrangements of metal nanoclusters, but their synthesis and subsequent installation onto metal nanoclusters remains a significant challenge. Herein, two atomically precise silver nanoclusters {Ag14[(TC4A)6(V9O16)](CyS)3} (Ag14) and {Ag43S[(TC4A)2(V4O9)]3(CyS)9(PhCOO)3Cl3(SO4)4(DMF)3·6DMF} (Ag43) are synthesized by controlling reaction temperature (H4TC4A = p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene). Interestingly, the 3D scaffold-like [(TC4A)6(V9O16)]11- metalloligand in Ag14 and 1D arcuate [(TC4A)2(V4O9)]6- metalloligand in Ag43 exhibit a dual role that is the internal polyoxovanadates as anion template and the surface TC4A4- as the passivating agent. Furthermore, the thermal-induced structure transformation between Ag14 and Ag43 is achieved based on the temperature-dependent assembly process. Ag14 shows superior photothermal conversion performance than Ag43 in solid state indicating its potential for remote laser ignition. Here, we show the potential of two thiacalix[4]arene modified polyoxovanadates metalloligands in the assembly of metal nanoclusters and provide a cornerstone for the remote laser ignition applications of silver nanoclusters.

Abstract
Silver cluster-assembled materials (SCAMs) are emerging light-emitting materials with molecular-level structural designability and unique photophysical properties. Nevertheless, the widespread application scope of these materials is severely curtailed by their dissimilar structural architecture upon immersing in different solvent media. In this work, we report the designed synthesis of two unprecedented (4.6)-connected three-dimensional (3D) luminescent SCAMs, [Ag12(StBu)6(CF3COO)6(TPEPE)6]n (denoted as TUS 1), TPEPE = 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(4-(pyridin-4-ylethynyl)phenyl)ethene and [Ag12(StBu)6(CF3COO)6(TPVPE)6]n (denoted as TUS 2), TPVPE = 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(4-((E)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl)phenyl)ethene, composed of an Ag12 cluster core connected by quadridentate pyridine linkers. Attributed to their exceptional fluorescence properties with absolute quantum yield (QY) up to 9.7% and excellent chemical stability in a wide range of solvent polarity, a highly sensitive assay for detecting Fe3+ in aqueous medium is developed with promising detection limits of 0.05 and 0.86 nM L-1 for TUS 1 and TUS 2 respectively, comparable to the standard. Furthermore, the competency of these materials to detect Fe3+ in real water samples reveals their potential application in environmental monitoring and assessment.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (NCs) are gaining much attention in nanoscale materials research because they exhibit size-specific physicochemical properties that are not observed in the corresponding bulk metals. Among them, silver (Ag) NCs can be precisely synthesized not only as pure Ag NCs but also as anion-templated Ag NCs. For anion-templated Ag NCs, we can expect the following capabilities: 1) size and shape control by regulating the central anion (anion template); 2) stabilization by adjusting the charge interaction between the central anion and surrounding Ag atoms; and 3) functionalization by selecting the type of central anion. In this review, we summarize the synthesis methods and influences of the central anion on the geometric structure of anion-templated Ag NCs, which include halide ions, chalcogenide ions, oxoanions, polyoxometalate, or hydride/deuteride as the central anion. This summary provides a reference for the current state of anion-templated Ag NCs, which may promote the development of anion-templated Ag NCs with novel geometric structures and physicochemical properties.

Abstract
The compound [(Nb6O19)@Ag34(tBuCC)24(CH3COO)2] (Ag34) was synthesized using the solvothermal method combined with volatilization. This was the first case, to the best of our knowledge, of isolating a silver cluster containing a polyoxoniobate (PONb) template. The luminescence, solution behavior and solid-state stability of Ag34 were studied in detail. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry indicated that Ag34 can maintain the integrity of its skeleton in solution. Detection of temperature could be a potential application of its unique luminescent behavior. We expect this work to inspire further fabrications of PONb-templated high-nuclearity silver clusters.

Abstract
Accurately controlling the assembly of nanometer-sized building blocks presents an important but significant challenge for the construction of functional framework materials, which requires the development of highly stable versatile nanosized assembly modules with multiple coordination sites. In this study, [Ag23(SAdm)12]3+ (Ag23, in which SAdm = 1-adamantanethiol, i.e., C10H15S), a chiral superatom complex nanocluster, was synthesized and assembled into various topologies. We constructed two kinds of framework materials, i.e., superatom complex inorganic framework (SCIF) and superatom complex organic framework (SCOF) materials, including [Ag23(SAdm)12](SbF6)2X (Ag23-1; X = Cl-/SbF6-, a SCIF), [Ag23(SAdm)12](SbF6)3 (Ag23-2, a SCIF), [Ag23(SAdm)12](SbF6)3(bpy)3 (Ag23-bpy, a SCOF, in which bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine, i.e., C10H8N2), and [Ag23(SAdm)12](SbF6)3(dpbz)3 (Ag23-dpbz, a SCOF, in which dpbz = 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)benzene, i.e., C16H12N2), owing to strong interactions between the versatile Ag23 and the inorganic and organic linkers. Ag23-1, Ag23-2, and Ag23-bpy exhibit two superstructures with interpenetrating frameworks and adamantane-like, hexagonal, and cubic topologies, while Ag23-dpbz displays three superstructures with interpenetrating frameworks and cubic topologies. Ag23-dpbz exhibits the largest specific surface area as well as the strongest photoluminescence and electrochemiluminescence signals owing to its dense network arrangement. This work contributes to the construction of nanocluster-based framework materials and helps to elucidate the effect of the assembly mode on the material properties and functionalities.

Abstract
Polyoxovanadates (POVs) as templates are still scarcely observed in silver clusters. Herein, the largest known POV-based silver cluster (Ag50) was synthesized, which is a core-shell conformation composed of the in situ generated classical [V10O28]6- core and Ag50 shell, constrained by the S- and O-donor ligands with a specific distribution. Such {V10O28@Ag50} structure displays geometric inheritance from the D2h symmetric decavanadate to the silver skeleton. The solution behavior, solid-state stability and photoelectric properties are discussed in detail. This work provides enlightenment for the further construction of POV-templated high-nuclearity silver clusters.

Abstract
Stepwise assembly starting from a preassembled metalloligand is a promising approach to obtain otherwise unattainable silver nanoclusters, but hard to be intrinsically identified due to the lack of convincing evidence to justify such a process. Herein, hexagonal and rectangular Ag18 nanoclusters are constructed from the [Mo2 O5 (PTC4A)2 ]6- (H4 PTC4A=p-phenyl-thiacalix[4]arene) metalloligand through stepwise assembly. The formation of the metalloligand is confirmed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, then assembled with silver ions to form two geometrically different Ag18 nanoclusters in different solvents. The cyclization from the metalloligand to [(Mo2 O5 PTC4A)6 ]12- can be realized without alcohols and otherwise blocked by them. The installation of this metalloligand not only provides comprehensive understanding of how the solvents regulate the silver nanocluster structures, but also brings new insights for the controllable ligand metallization and subsequent condensation.

Abstract
A polyoxometalate-templated thiolate-protected silver nanocluster, [Cu3(Mo4O16)2@Ag55(CyhS)43(CH3O)(COOCF3)]·3H2O, has been isolated under solvothermal conditions. In situ insertion of three Cu2+ ions into two polymolybdate anions generated a new, sandwich-type D3h-symmetric [Cu3(Mo4O16)2]10- polyoxoanion template encapsulated into an Ag55(CyhS)43 shell. The structure and composition of this Ag nanocluster have been fully characterized. This work has provided a new way to develop high-nuclearity metal nanoclusters with various structures.

Abstract
Synthesizing functional materials from water contributes to a sustainable energy future. On the atomic level, water drives complex metal hydrolysis/condensation/speciation, acid-base, ion pairing, and solvation reactions that ultimately direct material assembly pathways. Here, we demonstrate the importance of Nb-polyoxometalate (Nb-POM) speciation in enabling deposition of Nb2O5, LiNbO3, and (Na, K)NbO3 (KNN) from high-concentration solutions, up to 2.5 M Nb for Nb2O5 and ∼1 M Nb for LiNbO3 and KNN. Deposition of KNN from 1 M Nb concentration represents a potentially important advancment in lead-free piezoelectrics, an application that requires thick films. Solution characterization via small-angle X-ray scattering and Raman spectroscopy described the speciation for all precursor solutions as the [HxNb24O72](x-24) POM, as did total pair distribution function analyses of X-ray scattering of amorphous gels prior to conversion to oxides. The tendency of the Nb24-POM to form extended networks without crystallization leads to conformal and well-adhered films. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, ellipsometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As a strategy to convert aqueous deposition solutions from {Nb10}-POMs to {Nb24}-POMs, we devised a general procedure to produce doped Nb2O5 thin films including Ca, Ag, and Cu doping.

We study the relationship between the atomic structures of Ag-CBPs determined by x-ray diffraction and the electrical properties in the presence of organic solvents (e.g., methanol and ethanol). The ligands, cations, and the ligated solvent molecules not only play an important role in the self-assembly process of Ag-CBP materials but also determine their physiochemical properties such as the sensing functionality.

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
Atomically precise silver nanoclusters (Ag-NCs) are known as a hot research area owing to their brilliant features and they have attracted an immense amount of research attention over the last year. There is a lack of sufficient understanding about the Ag-NC synthesis mechanisms that result in optimal silver nanoclusters with an appropriate size, shape, and morphology. In addition, the coexisting flexible coordination of silver ions, the argentophilic interactions, and coordination bonds result in a high level of sophistication in the self-assembly process. Furthermore, the expansion of clusters by the organic ligand to form a high dimensional structure could be very interesting and useful for novel applications in particular. In this study, a novel two-dimensional 14-nucleus silver poly-cluster was designed and synthesized by the combination of two synthetic methods. The high nucleus silver cluster units are connected together via tetradecafluoroazelaic acid (CF2) and this leads to the high stability of the polymer. This highly stable conductive poly-cluster, with bridging groups of difluoromethylene, displays a high energy density (372 F g-1 at 4.5 A g-1), excellent cycling stability, and great capacity. This nanocluster shows a high power density and long cycle life over 6000 cycles (95%) and can also tolerate a wide range of scan rates (5 mV s-1 to 1 V s-1), meaning it could act as a green energy source.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (NCs), which consist of several, to about one hundred, metal atoms, have attracted much attention as functional nanomaterials for use in nanotechnology. Because of their fine particle size, metal NCs exhibit physical/chemical properties and functions different from those of the corresponding bulk metal. In recent years, many techniques to precisely synthesize metal NCs have been developed. However, to apply these metal NCs in devices and as next-generation materials, it is necessary to assemble metal NCs to a size that is easy to handle. Recently, multiple techniques have been developed to form one-, two-, and three-dimensional connected structures (CSs) of metal NCs through self-assembly. Further progress of these techniques will promote the development of nanomaterials that take advantage of the characteristics of metal NCs. This review summarizes previous research on the CSs of metal NCs. We hope that this review will allow readers to obtain a general understanding of the formation and functions of CSs and that the obtained knowledge will help to establish clear design guidelines for fabricating new CSs with desired functions in the future.

Abstract
Two polyoxometalate (POM)-based thiolate-protected silver coordination polymers were obtained using different Lindquist-type POM precursors under the same conditions. [Ag10(StBu)6(CH3CN)8(Mo6O19)2·2CH3CN]n (abbreviated as Ag10-Mo6) was observed to feature chain-like structures containing Ag10 clusters linked by [Mo6O19]2- anions through Ag-O bonds and to exhibit unprecedented green photoluminescence at room temperature. Interestingly, [Ag18(StBu)12(CH3CN)5(Mo6O19)2·Mo6O19·2CH3CN]n (abbreviated as Ag18-Mo6) was found to contain 20-membered cycle-Ag10S10 each with a diameter of approximately 11.382 Å and constructed from alternating silver and sulfur atoms and interconnected into an elegant Ag-S sheet by interstitial the Ag3StBu and AgCH3CN motifs, and to also contain [Mo6O19]2- counter ions filling in the spaces made by the cycle-Ag10S10 and strengthening the structure by forming Ag-O bonds. Such a stacking structure for thiolate-protected silver compounds has not been previously reported.
