Abstract
Cluster helicates are a new type of supramolecular architecture that consists of a metal cluster wrapped around by ligands arranged in a helical mode. This class of compounds combines the unique properties of metal clusters with the sophisticated chiral arrangement found in helicates. Therefore, these architectures show promising applications in the development of advanced materials with specific electronic, magnetic, optical, catalytic and biological properties. This review delves into a few pioneering studies on cluster helicates and their applications as nanomagnetic, nanoelectric and catalyst materials. Furthermore, it emphasises the necessity for further exploration in this area and the fields related to the functional applications that cluster helicates can bring to the future of materials science.
