Metal superatomic nanoclusters, with electronic structures similar to those of one certain atom, are an important type of metal clusters. Interestingly, metal clusters with metal cores composed of either icosahedral M or icosahedral assemblies always have a greater potential to become superatomic clusters. Furthermore, superatomic clusters with similar electronic compositions could possess various geometric structures, owing to differences in the shells; this provides a deeper understanding of the metal superatomic cluster and the assembly for nanomaterials. Therefore, this review focuses on the geometric and electronic structures of gold/silver superatomic clusters based on icosahedron M units and their alloys, which will facilitate the development of various applications of superatomic clusters.
金属超原子纳米团簇具有类似于单个原子的电子结构，是一种重要的金属团簇。有趣的是，具有由二十面体 M 或二十面体组装体组成的金属核的金属团簇总是具有更大的成为超原子团簇的潜力。此外，具有相似电子组成的超原子团簇由于壳层的差异可能具有各种几何结构，这为金属超原子团簇和纳米材料的组装提供了更深入的了解。因此，本综述重点介绍了基于二十面体 M 单元及其合金的金/银超原子团簇的几何和电子结构，这将有助于超原子团簇的各种应用的发展。
