Reticular chemistry is typically invoked to organize molecular building blocks, yet its ability to reprogram the intrinsic reactivity of atomically precise metal clusters remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate dimensional reticulation as a decisive lever for tuning CO2 electroreduction by systematically com...

Silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) occupy a rare chemical space where atomic precision, quantum-confined electronic structures, and rich excited-state behavior converge, yet their practical utility is often limited by structural fragility, environmental sensitivity, and weak processability. Reticularization offers a powerful...

Driven by the growing need for sustainable ammonia production and effective nitrate remediation, the electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) has emerged as a promising technology. This process enables the conversion of nitrate pollutants into ammonia under mild operating conditions, offering a greener alt...
Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction is often framed in terms of metal identity, yet the decisive factor governing reactivity remains the local coordination environment in which that metal is embedded. Here, we demonstrate that a covalent organic framework (COF) can be engineered to encode a hydroxyl–ligand cooperative...
