Here, we report the solvent-induced polymorphism in [Cu15(PET)13(TPP)6][BF4]2(Cu15) (TPP = triphenylphosphine, PET 2-phenylethanthiol), and double-helical assembly of [Cu18H(PET)14(TPP)6Cl3] (Cu18) nanocluster (NC) from reaction intermediates. Both copper NCs have an intrinsically chiral triple-stranded helicate metal core, unlike traditional with a polyhedral-based kernel. The structure Cu15 resembles enantiomeric pair unit cell. Moreover, Cu18 has three-layered 3D chirality sandwich constructed sulfur-bridged aligned top-middle-down configuration. Furthermore, NC self-hierarchically assembles into complex double-stranded helix secondary sustained by noncovalent interactions. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), density functional theory (DFT), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were utilized to validate single-crystal diffraction (SCXRD) data. Overall, this study provides interesting example polymorphism, chirality, hierarchical NCs, allowing for extensive understanding complicated structures at atomic level.

Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) exhibit unique molecule-like optical and electronic properties, making them promising candidates for photocatalysis. However, their application as primary photocatalysts in heterogeneous systems is limited by rapid electron recombination, small size, high solubility. To overcome these limitations, we developed an approach combining AuNCs assemblies with trap centers to enhance charge separation transfer. Using a depletion-driven assembly method, Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs), Na10SiW9O34 (SiW9), were uniformly embedded within spherical of glutathione-protected AuNCs, forming gold superclusters (AuSCs). The resulting AuSCs@SiW9 exhibited complete photoluminescence quenching, enhanced metallicity, stabilized photogenerated electrons via SiW9, enabling use photocatalysts. efficiently catalyzed the functionalization terminal aryl alkyne N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), achieving tribromoketones yield 94%, significantly outperforming AuSCs lower or higher metallicity (38 65%, respectively). Mechanistic studies revealed that improved promotes transfer complex formation NBS, while SiW9 stabilizes electrons, enhancing density under light irradiation. strong visible-light absorption, photostability, solvent dispersibility, recyclability up five cycles scalability broader applications. This strategy positions viable photocatalyst, expanding its potential photocatalysis toward synthesizing molecules.
