Site-specific doping of silver atoms into a Au25 nanocluster as directed by ligand binding preferences.


ABSTRACT: For the first time site-specific doping of silver into a spherical Au25 nanocluster has been achieved in [Au19Ag6(MeOPhS)17(PPh3)6] (BF4)2 (Au19Ag6) through a dual-ligand coordination strategy. Single crystal X-ray structural analysis shows that the cluster has a distorted centered icosahedral Au@Au6Ag6 core of D 3 symmetry, in contrast to the I h Au@Au12 kernel in the well-known [Au25(SR)18]- (R = CH2CH2Ph). An interesting feature is the coexistence of [Au2(SPhOMe)3] dimeric staples and [P-Au-SPhOMe] semi-staples in the title cluster, du
