Summary: Superatoms, which mimic elemental atoms in the periodic table, have opened up new possibilities for designing functional materials and catalysts. Recent research has focused on exploring active/inert superatoms in the gas phase and synthesizing ligand-protected metal cluster superatoms and superatomic solids. The accommodation of delocalized electrons in stabilizing metal clusters, particularly the superatomic orbitals formed by d-electrons of the transition metals, has been investigated. Notable superatomic features such as electronic open-and closed shells, aromaticity, and magnetism, especially for clusters of nonmagnetic elements, have been highlighted. A proposed four-dimensional image for the future three-dimensional periodic table aims to provide a convenient reference for designing and tailoring cluster-genetic materials.

Summary: The structure and electrochemical properties of zinc(II) complexes with a face-capping ligand have been investigated, revealing the effect of the ligand on bound semiquinonate (SQ) radicals. The substitution pattern of the SQ ring plays a crucial role in determining the fate of the bound SQ radicals. Additionally, the protective pocket formed by the ligand's phenyl substituents is unable to prevent decomposition of SQ radicals with minimal steric bulk, suggesting that substitution of the SQ ring is the main contributor to their stabilization.

Summary: Progress in the development of manganese oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) has provided an alternative for early-stage diagnosis of life-threatening diseases and therapeutic delivery of drugs and genes. The synthesis and characterization of MONPs have enabled the production of multi-functional targeted nanoparticles in various sizes and shapes. The integration of diagnosis and therapeutic capabilities within a single entity, known as nanotheranostics, is promising for real-time monitoring of disease progression and evaluating therapeutic treatment efficacy.

Summary: Recent advances in nanomaterials have raised speculation about the effectiveness of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as electrocatalysts for water splitting. Limited research has been conducted in this proposed application, despite the potential of CQDs in terms of rapid electron transfer rates, long-term stability, and desired morphologies. To evaluate potential materials, explore environmentally friendly synthesis routes, and determine commercial viability, comprehensive strategies were developed by collating numerous studies and articles. The significance of this work is enhanced by investigating not only CQDs but also metal alloy nanoparticles and their conjugation with supporting materials. Focusing on overpotentials, current densities, and production rates of hydrogen and oxygen during electrolysis is crucial. Promisingly, CQDs showed low Tafel slopes (35-45 mV/dec) and demonstrated stability and rapid electron transfer rates, highlighting their potential as electrocatalysts. Suitable candidates for conjugation among the investigated metal alloy nanoparticles were identified. Collectively, the compiled data suggests that the conjugation of CQDs with metal alloy nanoparticles could enhance the water splitting process for commercial applications, particularly in the underexplored field of hydrogen production. Further experimental procedures are essential to substantiate this proposition when feasible.

Summary: This paper investigates the geometries, energy landscapes, and magnetic parameters of copper(II) amino acid compounds using density functional theory calculations. The results show that certain conformers with histaminate-like and glycine-like modes have low Gibbs free energies and high metal-binding affinities. The predicted conformations reproduce the experimental electron paramagnetic resonance parameters.
