Construction of a homologous series of metal nanoclusters and implications for structure-activity correlations.

ABSTRACT: The precise structures of metal nanoclusters (NCs) can serve as an accurate model for the establishment of a structure-activity correlation, thereby attracting attention as a new type of heterogeneous catalyst. However, it remains challenging to definitively establish the relationship between the structure of local sites on NCs and catalytic activity. Herein, a homologous series of metal NCs were constructed for the structure-activity correlation. Four NCs including Au₂₄(SAdm)₁₄(OPDP)₁ (Au₂₄), Au₂₃Cd₁(SR)₁₄(OPDP)₁Cl (Au₂₃Cd₁), Au₂₂Cd₂(SAdm)₁₄(OPDP)₁Cl₂ (Au₂₂Cd₂) and Au₂₁Cd₂(SAdm)
