A new methodology was developed for the preparation of superatomic nanoclusters in a controllable fashion, with an internal redox reaction of Ag 7 (H)L 6 leading to the formation of a highly emissive two‐electron Ag nanocluster, Ag 10 L 8 . Jean‐Yves Saillard, Chen‐Wei Liu, and co‐workers explain in their Communication on page 12712 that the metal framework of Ag 7 is highly correlated to that of Ag 10 , suggesting that Ag 7 (H)L 6 acts as both reducing agent and template in the cluster build‐up.
