Abstract

Metal alloy nanoclusters have attracted increasing attention due to the synergistic effect of the foreign atoms. For the first time the synthesis and crystal structure of the [PdAu13(PPh3)3(SR)7]+ nanocluster is reported. The crystal structure of the nanocluster was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The [PdAu13(PPh3)3(SR)7]+ nanocluster has a concave polyhedron Au9Pd kernel, which looks like a girl dancing ballet. The structure shows that [PdAu13(PPh3)3(SR)7]+ has an open shell. Meanwhile, we also carried out ultraviolet-visible (Uv-vis) absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy to study the optical properties of the [PdAu13(PPh3)3(SR)7]+ nanocluster.
