An in situ characterization reveals that the clusters self-assemble into 2D nanoassemblies at higher temperatures which then disintegrate upon cooling down to room temperature. DFT calculations postulate a formation mechanism of these nanoassemblies by hydrogen-bond bridges between the clusters and H2O molecules, which keep the building blocks together while preventing their coalescence.}, pages = {4683--4687}, title = {Nanoassemblies of ultrasmall clusters with remarkable activity in carbon dioxide conversion into C1 fuels}, volume = {11}, year = {2019} }
