Atomically-precise colloidal nanoparticles of cerium dioxide

Control over nanoparticle atomicity has not yet been extended to metal oxides. Here, the authors present the synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of a family of atomically precise ceria nanoclusters, a pivotal step for understanding the relationship between their atomic structure and reactivity.
