Revealing the chirality origin and homochirality crystallization of Ag14 nanocluster at the molecular level

The preparation of chiral monolayer-protected metal clusters is interesting for their potential applications in a variety of fields, including catalysis. Here, the authors synthesize chiral Ag14 nanoclusters in an all-achiral environment, and decipher the origin of chirality at the molecular level;...
