Just like magic cubes or transformers , metal nanoclusters (ultrasmall nanoparticles) can have the same compositions but different structures. This structural isomerism brings an excellent opportunity for structure–property investigations. In their Communication on page 4510 ff., Z. Wu et al. introduce an ion‐induction synthesis method and obtain the second pair of genuine structural isomers of metal nanoclusters in the solid/liquid phase with distinctly different kernel atom packing (fcc vs. non‐fcc), and reveal photoluminescence that is dependent on the kernel atom packing.
