Ligand-protected noble metal nanoclusters, commonly termed 'monolayer-protected metal
clusters'(MPCs), comprise a common set of structures with an inorganic core stabilized by an …

Abstract Ultrasmall (< 2 nm) ligand-protected metal nanoclusters (NCs) have been an
emerging class of functional materials with rich coordination chemistry, finding increasing …

With continuous research efforts devoted into synthesis and characterization chemistry of
