Abstract
core; (iii) a hemispherical shell, comprised of a curved surface layer and a planar surface layer; and (iv) two distinct, self-organized arrangements of protective ligands on the curved and planar surfaces. The present study sheds light on structurally unexplored copper nanomaterials and paves the way for the synthesis of high-nuclearity copper nanoclusters.
