“…Delightedly, this strategy worked, and the procedure in Figure c successfully produced PhS-protected Au nanoclusters instead of Au nanoparticles (for details, see Supporting Information, p. S4). Photoinduced methods have been previously used for synthesizing Au nanoclusters in titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) scaffolds and glutathione protected Au nanoclusters. , Especially, a series of atomically precise Ag nanoclusters with alkynyl and phosphine ligands on the surface have been reported very recently. In this case, an electron of certain amines is excited by light with wavelength shorter than 455 nm and transferred to Ag + , producing Ag nanoclusters …”

Practical approaches to the synthesis of atomically precise metal nanoclusters are in high demand as they provide the structural basis for investigating nanomaterials’ structure–property correlations with atomic precision. The Brust–Schiffrin method has been widely used, while the essential reductive ligands (e.g., thiols) limit the application of this method for synthesizing metal nanoclusters with specific frameworks and surface ligands. In this work, we developed a photochemical route for synthesizing atomically precise metal nanoclusters by applying disulfide, which is a widely available, stable, and environmentally friendly sulfur source. This method enables the construction of structurally diverse metal nanoclusters and especially features the synthesis of PhS-protected metal nanoclusters that were not easily achieved previously and the gram-scale synthesis. A reduction–oxidation cascade mechanism has been revealed for the photochemical route. This work is expected to open up new opportunities for metal nanocluster synthesis and will contribute to the practical applications of this kind of nanomaterial.

“…Our group focuses on the construction of atomically precise metal nanoclusters and the investigation of their catalytic performance. [30][31][32][33][34][35] Inspired from the pioneer work on the photo-induced construction of metal nanoclusters, [36][37][38][39] very recently, we developed a photochemical route for synthesizing atomically precise group 11 metal nanoclusters from disulfides. 40 The mechanism of this method is different from that of the previous methods on photo-induced or two-step reduction synthesis, and undergoes a reduction-oxidation cascade process (Fig.…”
