In the dynamic landscape of nanotechnology, atomically precise silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) have emerged as a novel and promising category of materials with their fascinating properties and enormous potential. However, recent research endeavors have surged towards stabilizing Ag-based NCs, leading to innovative strategies like connecting cluster nodes with organic linkers to construct hierarchical structures, thus forming Ag-based cluster-assembled materials (CAMs). This approach not only enhances structural stability, but also unveils unprecedented opportunities for CAMs, overcoming the limitations of individual Ag NCs. In this context, this review delves into the captivating realm of atomically precise nitrogen-based ligand bonded Ag(I)-based CAMs, providing insights into synthetic strategies, structure–property relationships, and diverse applications. We navigate the challenges and advancements in integrating Ag(I) cluster nodes, bound by argentophilic interactions, into highly connected periodic frameworks with different dimensionalities using nitrogen-based linkers. Despite the inherent diversity among cluster nodes, Ag(I) CAMs demonstrate promising potential in sensing, catalysis, bio-imaging, and device fabrication, which all are discussed in this review. Therefore, gaining insight into the silver nanocluster assembly process will offer valuable information, which can enlighten the readers on the design and advancement of Ag(I) CAMs for state-of-the-art applications.
