Anion-Directed Assembly of a Bimetallic Pd/Ag Nanocluster: Synthesis, Characterization, and HER Activity.

ABSTRACT: Palladium-doped silver nanoclusters (NCs) have been highlighted for their unique physicochemical properties and potential applications in catalysis, optics, and electronics. Anion-directed synthesis offers a powerful route to control the morphology and properties of these NCs. Herein, we report a novel Pd-doped Ag NC, [Pd(H)Ag₁₃(S){S₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₁₀] (PdHAg₁₃S), synthesized through the inclusion of sulfide and hydride anions. This NC features a unique linear S-Pd-H axis enclosed in a 4-5-4 stacked arrangement of silver atoms. The distinctive hydride environment was characterized by NMR spectroscopy, and the total structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and supported by computational stu
