The capability to synthesize a broad spectrum of metal clusters (MCs) with their size controllable in a subnanometer scale presents an enticing prospect for exploring nanosize-dependent properties. Here we report an innovative design of a capping agent from a polytriazolium poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) in a vesicular form in solution that allows for crafting a variety of MCs including transition metals, noble metals, and their bimetallic alloy with precisely controlled sizes (~ 1 nm) and record-high catalytic performance. The ultrastrong stabilization power is result of an unusual synergy between the conventional binding sites in the heterocyclic cations in PIL, and an in-situ generated polycarbene structure induced simultaneously to the reduction reaction.
