"Z"-Type Tilted Quasi-One-Dimensional Assembly of Actinide-Embedded Coinage Metal Near-Plane Superatoms and Their Optical Properties.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a novel discovery that the coinage-metal near-plane superatoms (CM-NPSs) formed by embedding actinide elements into the coinage metal rings can realize the "Z"-type tilted quasi-one-dimensional (1D) direct assembly is reported. This success can be attributed to the strong bonding between the overlapping parts of adjacent superatomic motifs. First-principles calculations reveal that the motifs maintain their geometric and electronic structures robustly during the assembly process. With the accumulation of motifs, the intensity of the absorption peak increases continuously in the ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra range of 300-450 nm, resulting in the hyperchromic effect, which is closely related to the degree of the participation of Th atoms. Furthermore, the abso
