Although atomically precise metalloid nanoclusters (NCs) of identical size with distinctly
different molecular structures are highly desirable to understand the structural effects on the …

Superatoms, due to their various applications in redox and materials chemistry, have been a
major topic of study in cluster science. Superhalogens constitute a special class of …

We report geometric, electronic, and NLO properties of designed zintl superatom P 7 M 2
(M= Li, Na, K & Be, Mg, Ca) clusters in which zintl core P 7 is substituted with alkali and …

Superalkalis are complexes that have a lower ionization energy than that of the
corresponding alkali and alkaline earth metals. Based on First Principles calculations, the …

To enhance the superatom family, the new superatom analogue Be11 of group IVA
elements has been developed. Be11 can exhibit multiple valence states (+ 2 and+ 4), similar …

A new algorithm called Automatic Johnson Cluster Generator (AJCG) is presented, which,
as its name indicates, allows the definition of the desired Johnson polyhedron to …

Ever since the concept of superatoms was brought forward in the 1990s, various specific
types of clusters have been proposed to mimic atomic properties and enrich the “three …

To design new materials based on artificial superatoms, clarifying their involved interaction
is particularly important. In this study, we discuss first-principle calculations to show that the …

Abstract New Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are designed and are attempted to activate
molecular hydrogen. The new FLPs are modeled by changing the ligands in the Lewis acid …

This work puts forward an unusual but rational strategy to design superatoms mimicking the
properties of group via elements. A new dianion with closo-configuration, namely …
