Copper Clusters: An Effective Antibacterial for Eradicating Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Infection In Vitro and In Vivo

Xiangchun Zhang et al.

Summary: CuCs is a novel antibacterial molecule with broad-spectrum and excellent antibacterial activity, able to disrupt bacterial wall structure, regulate GSH/GSSG ratio, induce reactive oxygen species production, and ultimately lead to bacterial death. In vivo studies in mice demonstrate that CuCs can significantly treat skin wound infections and sepsis caused by MRSA, with similar therapeutic efficacy as mupirocin ointment and vancomycin. Compared to silver and platinum clusters, CuCs show extremely low cytotoxicity to normal mammalian cells.

Molecular Gold Nanocluster Au156 Showing Metallic Electron Dynamics

Feng Hu et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the boundary between molecular and metallic gold nanoclusters, presenting the synthesis and structural determination of the largest all-alkynyl-protected gold nanocluster, Au-156. The cluster's rod shape with concentric core structure displays metal-like electron dynamics, suggesting Au-156 as a key crossover cluster for the transition from molecular to metallic state. The shape of the cluster is identified as one of the crucial factors in determining the molecular or metallic nature of a gold nanocluster.
