Ultrasmall clusters of subnanometer size can possess unique and even unexpected
physical and chemical propensities which make them interesting in various fields of basic …

Water-soluble ligand protected optically active silver nanostructures were synthesised in a
one-step reduction and capping process mediated by thiol-containing biomolecules. The …

Chiroptical methods have been proven to be superior compared to their achiral counterparts
for the structural elucidation of many compounds. To expand the use of chiroptical systems …

Increasing demand of ethylene oxide and the cost of versatile chemical ethene has been a
driving force for understanding mechanism of epoxidation to develop highly selective …

Surface second harmonic generation (s-SHG) spectra of supported Au nanoparticles (NPs)
with titania coating are presented. Although the optical properties of these particles are in …

We report an approach to create bare silver cluster Ag17+ and hydride-rich Ag17H14+
separately, as pure species uncontaminated with other entities, in the gas phase starting …

The possibility of depositing precisely mass-selected Ag clusters (Ag1, Ag3, and Ag7) on Ru
(0001) was instrumental in determining the importance of the in-plane coordination number …

Heterogeneous catalysis has vastly benefited from investigations performed on model
systems under well‐controlled conditions. The application of most of the techniques utilized …

The optical absorption of silver clusters is characterized by a strong plasmon band.
However, most of the experimental photoabsorption measurements are performed on …
