Pioneering works explained the MOs of metal clusters through a fragment approach, later supported by DFT. Here, we show that 195Pt ssNMR fingerprints of Chini clusters encode information about their electronic structure.

Synthesizing Pt/γ-Al2O3 materials, ubiquitous in heterogeneous catalysis, with well-defined Pt nuclearity remains challenging. In this work, we demonstrate how SOMC can be employed to tune cluster size down to single atoms. @ChemEurope

Yesterday, Prof. Nako Nakatsuka was awarded the #RuzickaPrize2025 ! In her talk she outlined how closely the level of neurotransmitters is linked to brain disorders. To capture the tiny neurotransmitters, her research combines chemistry and engineering.
