What are hit papers?

Hit papers significantly outperform the citation benchmark for their cohort. A paper qualifies if it has ≥500 total citations, achieves ≥1.5× the top-1% citation threshold for papers in the same subfield and year (this is the minimum needed to enter the top 1%, not the average within it), or reaches the top citation threshold in at least one of its specific research topics.

2	Copper clusters are nanoscale materials comprised of a metal core or frame enclosed by a mantle of stabilizing ligands; their exploration offers progress in diverse fields, such as medicine, electronics, and fundamental chemistry as catalysts, reducing agents, corrosion inhibitors, and petroleum sweeteners. When stabilized with dithiocarbamate (DTC) ligands (L), copper clusters show a propensity for reversible hydrogen uptake and a remarkable versatility in size and shape as demonstrated by the facile substitution of the protecting groups and multitude of species attainable. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the versatility of the Cu-DTC system by the novel use of an aromatic dibenzyl DTC ligand (L’) to generate clusters of previously known composition (i.e., Cu8HL’6 PF6). As demonstrated herein, the new materials are air stable and amenable to characterization by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy, and Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry. The subject ‑ hydrogen-rich caged cluster materials have potential applications as hydrogen storage sponges to great benefit to material science, energy, and other chemical fields. 2020 ·(unknown),C.

Rankless uses publication and citation data sourced from OpenAlex, an open and comprehensive bibliographic database. While OpenAlex provides broad and valuable coverage of the global research landscape, it—like all bibliographic datasets—has inherent limitations. These include incomplete records, variations in author disambiguation, differences in journal indexing, and delays in data updates. As a result, some metrics and network relationships displayed in Rankless may not fully capture the entirety of a scholar's output or impact.
