An ultrastable {Ag55Mo6} nanocluster with a Ag-centered multishell structure†
Abstract
An ultrastable [Ag55(MoO4)6]43+ ({Ag55Mo6} for short) nanocluster with a Ag-centered multishell structure in compound [Ag55(MoO4)6(CCtBu)24(CH3COO)18](OAc)ยท2H2O (1) has been obtained. The ultrastability of 1 was demonstrated by Mulliken population analysis. In addition, the potential wide gap semiconductor property and electrochemical properties of 1 were investigated.
