Approaching Materials with Atomic Precision Using Supramolecular Cluster Assemblies

Abstract: Conspectus Supramolecular chemistry is a major area of chemistry that utilizes weaker non-covalent interactions between molecules, including hydrogen bonding, van der Waals, electrostatic, π···π, and C–H···π interactions. Such forces have been the basis of several molecular self-assemblies and host–guest complexes in organic, inorganic, and biological systems. Atomically precise nanoclusters (NCs) are materials of growing interest that display interesting structure–property correlations. The evolving science o… Show more

“…Using commercial thiolate precursors, we prepared the glucose-([Na2] [18]), galactose-([Na2] [19]), and mannose-grafted ([Na2] [20]) nanoclusters (Fig. 3c) that feature precise spatial arrangements of the twelve appended saccharides on the cluster periphery.…”

“…However, an atomic‐level understanding of surface coordination chemistry in large nanoparticles (e.g., >1000 metal atoms) remains challenging, for two natures of nanoparticles—the poly‐disperse sizes (i.e., hard to be prepared uniformly at the atomic level), and the uncertain surface chemistry (e.g., metal–ligand interactions) . In view of this, metal nanoclusters have been served as model nanosystems, and precise molecular tools, for investigating the surface coordination chemistry at the atomic level owing to the monodisperse sizes and accurately characterized structures of these nanomaterials . Thiolates are most frequently used in protecting metallic kernels of nanoclusters; selenols, cognate derivatives of thiols by replacing the sulfur in thiols into selenium, have embodied their superiority in stabilizing metal nanoclusters and shown distinctively surface coordination mode.…”

“…Advancing the miniaturisation, compatibility, performance and energy efficiency of electronic, magnetic, sensing and catalytic devices requires a continuous search for synthetic approaches to hybrid molecular objects with well-defined, controllable and processable nanoscale structures 1. The utilisation of metal–oxo clusters or so-called polyoxometalates (POMs), in particular, molybdenum-, tungsten- and vanadium-based polyoxoanionic species, as precursors is one of the promising directions for the synthesis of nanostructured materials, which has gained increasing attention from experimental communities 215.…”
