Summary: Metal nanoclusters (NCs), especially anion-templated Ag NCs, are of great interest in nanoscale materials research due to their size-specific physicochemical properties. The synthesis methods and influences of central anions on the geometric structure of anion-templated Ag NCs, including halide ions, chalcogenide ions, oxoanions, polyoxometalate, or hydride/deuteride, are summarized in this review. This summary serves as a reference for the current status of anion-templated Ag NCs, and may contribute to the development of novel geometric structures and physicochemical properties.

Summary: Four silver thiolate clusters with similar nestlike structures were studied, showing tunable solid-state emissions depending on the templating anions. The color of emissions could be adjusted from green to orange and then to red by changing the template anions, indicating a correlation to charge transfer between the templates and metal atoms. This work contributes to the understanding of the templating role of heteroanions and the relationship between structure and properties.

Summary: Cerium-doped MoO (x) (Ce-MoOv) nanomaterials with tunable Mo/Ce molar ratios were fabricated by a one-pot method and their effects on chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) were investigated. Ce-MoOv could self-assemble into nanoclusters in acidic conditions, and increasing the amount of Ce resulted in the generation of oxygen vacancy defects and changes in the valence states of Mo6+/Mo5+ and Ce4+/Ce3+. This led to strong near-infrared absorption and high photothermal conversion efficiency for 808 and 1064 nm. Ce-MoOv also demonstrated pH-/glutathione (GSH)-activated photoacoustic (PA) imaging capability and acted as a CDT reagent by converting H2O2 to reactive oxygen species and depleting GSH. The therapeutic effect of Ce-MoOv against HCT116 cells was highly effective under 1064 nm laser irradiation.

Summary: Two novel arsenotungstate species, [As4W48O168]36- (1a) and [As2W21O77(H2O)3]22- (2a), have been successfully isolated under a one-pot synthetic method. 1a is the second largest arsenotungstate cluster constructed from four {AsW12} clusters combined together. 2a can be described as lacunary sites of {As2W19} filled by {W2O8} units. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit proton conductivity properties, and the conductivity value of 1 is 5.0 x 10-3 S cm-1 at 98% relative humidity and 75 degrees C. This work proves the participation of lattice water molecules and polyoxoanions in hydrogen bond formation as an effective pathway for intermolecular proton conduction.

Summary: This study reports the interesting and unique cation-exchange behaviors of the first indium-bridged purely inorganic 3D framework based on high-nuclearity polyoxoniobates as building units. The material features a near-icosahedral core-shell structure with changeable openings for binding different metal cations via ion-exchanges and exhibits unusual selective metal-uptake behaviors. Single-crystal-to-single-crystal metal-exchange processes can produce a dozen new crystals with high crystallinity, allowing for the detailed visualization of metal-exchange interactions and mechanisms at the atomic precision level. This work is of significance for the exploration of cluster-based ion-exchange materials that are still to be developed.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the hydrogenation of methyl palmitate (MP) to hexadecanol over defect-rich Cu/m-ZrO2 catalysts. It was found that Cu/m-ZrO2-350 catalyst exhibited the best activity for MP hydrogenation due to its highest Cu dispersion, largest number of Cu0 sites, and surface oxygen vacancy concentration. The synergistic effect of Cu species and oxygen vacancies provides insights for the design of efficient catalysts for the conversion of fatty esters to fatty alcohols.

Summary: In this work, organophosphate and lanthanide cluster were successfully integrated into polyoxoniobates (PONbs) to create the first family of inorganic-organic hybrid organophosphate-Ln-PONb composite clusters. These novel species not only exhibit the redox activity of PONbs that can form long-lived heteropoly blues under ambient conditions, but also possess photochromic properties. The discovery of a D-f-A electron transfer mechanism through the analysis of electronic configurations and photochromic properties opens up possibilities for developing diverse PONb-based redox materials and expanding the applications of PONbs in redox chemistry.

Summary: The big data era has created a demand for advanced memory technologies with higher data-storage densities, faster access speeds, lower power consumption, and better environmental compatibility. Polyoxometalates (POMs) show promise as next-generation molecular memristors due to their versatile redox properties, electron reservoirs, and compatibility with microelectronics processing. This review describes five types of POM-based active materials in nonvolatile memories, including inorganic POMs, crystalline organic-inorganic hybrid POMOFs, polymer modified POMs, POM/transition metal oxides composites, and the deposition of POM on metal surfaces. The composition, fabrication, device parameters, and resistive switching mechanisms of POMs-based memristors are summarized, along with the challenges and future perspectives.

Summary: An oxalate-assisted strategy was developed to create new polyoxotantalates (POTas). Two brand-new POTa supramolecular frameworks based on uncommon dimeric POTa secondary building units (SBUs) were constructed and characterized using this strategy. The oxalate ligand served as both a coordination ligand to form unique POTa SBUs and a key hydrogen bond acceptor to construct supramolecular architectures. These architectures exhibited outstanding proton conductivity. This strategy opens up new possibilities for the development of POTa materials.

Summary: Doped carbon materials, especially F-doped carbon catalysts, have gained significant attention as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions and as corrosion-resistant supports for Pt and non-Pt nanoparticles. F-doped carbon materials possess unique properties and greatly improve the activity and durability of the ORR compared to N-doped carbon materials. The high electronegativity of F-doping can efficiently modify the electronic band structure of carbon materials, favoring the ORR. This review systematically discusses the effect of F-doping/F co-doping on the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 in acidic and alkaline conditions, the stability and durability of fuel cell catalysts, and provides guidelines for working with F-doped carbons. Future research directions on F-doped carbons are also proposed to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale assessments and commercial applications.
