Structural Isomerism of {Ag 14 } 10+ Nanocluster Encapsulated by Bowl‐like Polyoxometalates

Abstract The structural isomerism of atomically precise nanoclusters provides a preeminent theoretical model to investigate the structure−property relationships. Herein, we synthesized three bowl‐like polyoxometalate (POM)‐encapsulated Ag nanoclusters (denoted as {Ag 14 (Sb 3 W 30 ) 2 }‐1 , {Ag 14 (Sb 3 W 30 ) 2 }‐1 a , and {Ag 14 (Sb 3 W 30 ) 2 }‐2 ) via a facile one‐pot solvothermal approach. Among them, for the first time, an unprecedented isomeric {Ag 14 } 10+ nanoclusters are obtained in polyoxoanions {Ag 14 (Sb 3 W 30 ) 2 }‐1 and {Ag 14 (Sb 3 W 30 ) 2 }‐2 , which should be probably induced by the different distribution of coordinating O atoms in two isomeric bowl‐like {Sb 3 W 30 } ligands. Clusters {Ag…
