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

Congrats to Domenico on the successful defense of his PhD! 🎉His work focused on advancing the molecular understanding of SACs and clusters using solid-state NMR and DFT calculations.

Many thanks to Professors G. Pacchioni and B. Chaudret for serving as examiners.
