A family of molecular M/Co/Se metal chalcogenide clusters inspired by CoMoS catalysts were prepared with a single, well-defined active site M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu and Zn. The role of the electronic metal-support interaction between the active site and the support is investigated with respect to the emerging electronic structure and catalytic activity, and a structure-activity relationship is constructed. The experimental foray into the geometry, electronic structure, magnetic properties, and reactivity of the nanoclusters is complemented by DFT studies.
