Abstract
Abstract Metal clusters composed of no more than one hundred metal atoms have the potential to exhibit novel catalysis that is unexpected from the corresponding bulk and nanoparticles. The emergence of cluster-specific properties is ascribed to the quantized electronic structures, unique geometrical packing, and structural fluxionality. Polymer-stabilized metal clusters provide ideal platforms for exploring new catalysis based on the chemical properties of naked model clusters and studying the correlation between structural parameters and intrinsic catalytic properties of metal clusters. In this article, we describe our recent efforts to explore novel catalysts using polymer-stabilized metal clusters.
