Understanding ligated metal clusters’ reactivities is challenging. Now, a methodology has been developed to explore dynamic mixtures of metal clusters. Interrelated cluster populations are constructed through organometallic precursor chemistry. Structural information on mixed-metal systems is obtained with a bias-free computational framework, and reactivities towards CO2 and alkynes are investigated in situ.
