Atomically precise nanoclusters with reversible isomeric transformation for rotary nanomotors

Atomically precise metal nanoclusters are an emerging class of precision nanomaterials and hold potential in many applications. Here, the authors devise a [Au13Ag12(PPh3)10Cl8]+ nanocluster with two conformational isomers that can reversibly convert in response to temperature, and hence acts as a ro...

Description
Summary:Atomically precise metal nanoclusters are an emerging class of precision nanomaterials and hold potential in many applications. Here, the authors devise a [Au13Ag12(PPh3)10Cl8]+ nanocluster with two conformational isomers that can reversibly convert in response to temperature, and hence acts as a rotary nanomotor.
