Abstract

A bowl-shaped phosphangulene-protected cubic Cu₅₈ nanocluster has been synthesized. The structure was determined by X-ray crystallography and further analyzed by multiple techniques. The phosphangulenes not only enable ligand substitutions with triphenylphosphines in a cluster-to-cluster transformation way, but also facilitate inter-cluster interactions with fullerenes. These interactions further influence the entirety's photocurrent response and ability to liberate hydrogen when stimulated by light.
