Structural Transformation of Metastable Two-Electron Superatom Au-Doped Cu-Rich Alloy Nanocluster.

ABSTRACT: The ability to fabricate bimetallic clusters with atomic precision offers promising prospects for elucidating the correlations between their structures and properties. Nevertheless, achieving precise control at the atomic level in the production of clusters, including the quantity of dopant, characteristic of ligands, charge state of precursors, and structural transformation, have remained a challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis, purification, and characterization of a new bimetallic hydride cluster, [AuCu₁₁(H){S₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₆(C≡CPh)₃] (AuCu₁₁H). The hydride position in AuCu₁₁H was determined using DFT calculations. AuCu₁₁H comprises a ligand-stabilized defective
