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: Coinage metal clusters with heterometallation have been studied for their photophysical properties, showing differences in emission wavelength and quantum yield. The study reported homometallic (Ag46S13) clusters and their conversion to heterometallic (Ag43M3S13) clusters, highlighting the control of photophysical properties through different metal compositions.

Summary: The study involved constructing spirocyclic Ag-9 clusters by vertex-sharing of in-situ-generated heteroaryl diide-centered metal rings, demonstrating versatile photoluminescent and chiroptical behavior. Under different aggregation conditions, assembly led to cluster-based phosphorous luminescence and micrometer-long helical nanofibers. Exciton couplings of chelating ligands at molecular and microscopic levels in the assembled film of cluster enantiomers resulted in circularly polarized luminescence with a high anisotropy factor (0.16).

Summary: A novel Ag-36 nanocluster with a closed electronic structure and eight valence electrons is described, which shares a similar structure with an open-shell Ag-34 nanocluster with three valence electrons, except for the replacement of two S(2-) anions with two (Ag-PPh3)(+) cations in the shell. The precise structural modulation results in varying levels of singlet oxygen photogeneration activity due to the distinct optical gaps of the nanoclusters.

Summary: In this study, Au-I complexes combining hard oxygen and soft (diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene (L) ligands were synthesized and structurally characterized. Unique metal complexes were obtained, including a crown-like mixed-valent Au-0/Au-I cluster. N-bridged complexes were also prepared and further studied using DFT calculations.

Summary: This study demonstrates that a molecular hybrid of an atomically precise {Ag-27}(17+) nanocluster and polyoxometalates (POMs) efficiently cleaves H-2 into protons and electrons. The Ag nanocluster accommodates electrons through the redox reaction, while the POM ligands play crucial roles in stabilizing the nanocluster, forming an interface for efficient H-2 cleavage, and storing the generated protons.

Summary: Translation: The metalation of the polynucleating ligand F,tbsLH6 with Zn(N(SiMe3)2)2 results in the formation of various heterobimetallic clusters with different chemical properties. These clusters can be further modified through deprotonation and transmetalation reactions. The study of these clusters provides insights into their structures and redox properties.

Summary: Pathway-dependent chirality control in silver nanoclusters is achieved by using enantiomeric ligand, leading to the formation of chiral silver nanoclusters with intrinsic chirality. Guest binding to the nanoclusters' shell can reverse the stability between right- and left-handed nanoclusters, resulting in unprecedented chirality inversion.
