Article Abstract
Cross-linked functional polymers (functional resins) are versatile, designable and useful supports for metal nanoclusters that are able to provide reasonably thermally and mechanically stable multi-functional metal catalysts characterized by good activity and selectivity. The paper reviews authors' contributions to the field from the early 1990s to the present.

-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-protected gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have emerged as promising candidates for biomedical applications due to their high stability and strong photoluminescence. However, their integration into atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which facilitates an understanding of their behavior in biological environments, has been hindered by the lack of reliable force field parameters. Here, we present a new set of parameters for classical MD simulations of NHC-protected AuNCs, fully compatible with the AMBER force field.

Controlling the size of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been critical in diagnostics, biomolecular sensing, targeted therapy, wastewater treatment, catalysis, and sensing applications. Ultrasmall AuNPs (uAuNPs), with sizes Ranging from 2 to 5 nm, and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), with sizes less than 2 nm, are often dealt with interchangeably in the literature, making it challenging to review them separately. Although they are grouped in our discussion, their chemical and physical properties differ significantly, partly due to their electronic properties.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is rapidly emerging as an excellent electrochemical analytical technique for the specific and sensitive detection of various biomarkers and hazardous trace metals. Among ECL emitters, gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have proven to be excellent luminophores due to their remarkable luminescent properties, stability, and biocompatibility. However, the low ECL efficiency of AuNCs precludes their application in ultrasensitive biosensing.

Organic ligand-protected metal nanoclusters feature ultrasmall size, well-defined compositions, and diverse chiral structures. They have the potential to combine the advantages of asymmetric organocatalysis and nanometal catalysis. The major challenge is designing and synthesizing appropriate metal nanocluster structures for achieving high catalytic activity and excellent enantioselectivity.

Atomically precise nanoclusters are desirable for understanding the structure-property relationships in the electrocatalytic CO reduction reaction (eCORR), but suitable related models are lacking, especially those of low- or zerovalent noble metal nanoclusters and their alloyed analogues. We first developed a photochemical method toward silver nanocluster Ag(4- BuPhC≡C)(Dpppe)(SbF) ( -) and then related copper-doped alloyed nanocluster AgCu(4- BuPhC≡C)(Dpppe)Cl(SbF) ( -). Herein, we present a larger alloyed nanocluster, AgCu(4- BuPhC≡C)(Dpppe)(SbF) ( -) and investigate the relationship between the structures and the eCORR performance of those related nanoclusters.
