Sub-nano clusters with atomic precision provide a compelling platform for bridging heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, but their synthesis remains a great challenge. Here, the authors report a precursor-preselected wet-chemistry strategy to synthesize highly dispersed Fe2 clusters supported on mesoporous carbon nitride.
