According to the classic superatom model, metal nanoclusters with a "magic number" of free valence electrons display high stability, manifesting as closed-shell-dependent electronic robustness. The icosahedral nanobuilding blocks containing eight were most common in constructing nanoclusters; however, structure defect-dependent variations electron count configurations are still far from thorough research. Here, we reported hydride-containing [Pt2Ag15(SAdm)4(DPPOE)4H]2+ nanocluster two largely defective Pt1Ag8 cores. Together previously complete or slightly icosahedra nanoclusters, core provided important clues reveal evolutionary mode structural defects and icosahedron was reduced two-by-two (i.e., 8e 6e then 4e) accompanied by defection. Overall, work presented novel Pt2Ag15 that enables an atomic-level understanding relationship between nanoclusters.

Photoluminescent nanoclusters are promising materials for optical waveguides. However, their photon transmission under mechanical stress is very challenging. Here, we report an low-loss metallic nanocluster crystal, [Pt1Ag14(DPPP)6Cl4](SbF6)2 (DPPP = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino) propane), which exhibits stable performance with loss coefficient of 7.15 × 10–4 dB·μm–1─lower than most reported inorganic, organic, and hybrid materials. The Pt1Ag14 crystals maintain excellent stability deformation, difference only 0.15 10–3 dB·μm–1 before after stress. Reasonable molecular design endows robust flexibility, resulting in bending radius being smaller that similar structures. Structural analysis has shown multiple π···π, C–H···π, C–H···F intra- intermolecular interactions originating from the ligands between counterions ensure crystal Metallic low flexibility generated by rational offer candidates fields active waveguides flexible electronic

Abstract Scintillators can convert the ionizing radiation into visible light and are crucial in X/γ‐ray detectors. Commercial detectors often use multiple scintillators with photodetector arrays, where optical crosstalk degrade performance. Chiral scintillators, emitting circularly polarized light, offer a promising solution for regulating direction of propagation to enhance X‐ray detecting merits. Here novel chiral metal‐organic polymers have been developed via photopolymerization, using polymeric monomers 0D Mn(II)‐based organic‐metal halide hybrid achieving luminescence dissymmetry factors ( g lum ) 5.823 × 10 −2 −2.877 .

Organic-inorganic metal halide (OIMH) glass offers the advantages of large-scale production, high transparency, and minimal light scattering. However, undesired crystallization in OIMH can occur, leading to deteriorated transparency. Herein, a series bisphosphonium organic cations were designed construct Mn-based crystals with photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) near unity, alongside development highly thermally stable glasses.
