TL;DR: This review summarizes the major progress in the field, including the principles that permit atomically precise synthesis, new types of atomic structures, and unique physical and chemical properties ofatomically precise nanoparticles, as well as exciting opportunities for nanochemists to understand very fundamental science of colloidal nanoparticles.

TL;DR: A golden opportunity: the total structure of a Au(36)(SR)(24) nanocluster reveals an unexpected face-centered-cubic tetrahedral Au(28) kernel.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of a new nanocluster formulated as Au28(TBBT)20, where TBBT = 4-tert-butylbenzenethiolate, exhibits a rod-like Au20 kernel consisting of two interpenetrating cuboctahedra and was separated by chiral HPLC and characterized by circular dichroism spectroscopy.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nanoparticle self-assembly can reach the same level of hierarchy, complexity, and accuracy as biomolecules, and the driving forces and rules that guide the multiscale assembly behavior are identified.

TL;DR: X-ray crystallography unravels molecular self-assembly and structural ordering on the curved surface of the largest gold nanoparticle, consisting of 133 atoms, and provides a conceptual advance in scientific understanding of pattern structures.
