异金属原子引入原子精确的金属纳米团簇是调控团簇物理化学性质的有效手段, 目前报道的异金属原子掺杂团簇大多数是单个金属原子掺入金属团簇中形成的二元金属纳米团簇, 而两个异金属原子同时掺入同一个金属团簇中形成三元金属纳米团簇的报道较少. 本工作中, 我们报道了Pd和Hg双原子同时掺入Au25(PET)18 (PET=苯乙硫醇)团簇中形成HgPdAu23(PET)18新团簇, 推测了Pd和Hg在三元金属团簇中最可能的位置, 即Pd位于三元金属团簇的内核中心, 而Hg原子位于三元金属团簇内核的表面. 不同金属种类以及不同的掺杂位置导致了三元金属团簇HgPdAu23(PET)18具有不同于原始团簇Au25(PET)18和二元金属团簇PdAu24(PET)18和HgAu24(PET)18的电子构型. 本研究为双金属异原子掺入金属纳米团簇的精准制备提供了新的思路.

The introduction of heteroatoms into metal nanoclusters is an effective strategy to regulate the physical and chemical properties of clusters. Most of the doped clusters reported are binary metal nanoclusters via one metal heteroatom doping into a metal nanocluster, while the preparation and properties of ternary metal nanoclusters via two heteroatoms doping into a metal nanocluster are rarely studied. In this work, we report the Pd and Hg co-doped ternary metal nanocluster HgPdAu23(PET)18 (PET=2-phenylethanethiol) using the Au25(PET)18 nanocluster as an ideal template that can be viewed as a Au13 icosahedral core protected by the exterior 12 Au atoms as a shell. The structural framework of the HgPdAu23(PET)18 nanocluster is similar to that of its parent Au25(PET)18 nanocluster, determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS), which shows a 13-atom icosahedral core and a 12-atom shell capped by 18 thiolate ligands. It indicated that the doping strategy might destroy the total structure (core plus surface) of the parent nanocluster, which will offer an excited opportunity for the correlation of the structure with properties of the doped nanoclusters. More notably, the possible doping location of the Pd and Hg atoms in the HgPdAu23(PET)18 nanocluster can be determined by the combination of single-crystal X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (i.e., 1H NMR and two-dimentional NMR). It is suggested that the Pd atom is possibly located on the center of the icosahedron of the HgPdAu23(PET)18 nanocluster, while the Hg atom is possibly located on the surface of the icosahedron of the HgPdAu23(PET)18 nanocluster. The electronic configuration of HgPdAu23(PET)18 nanocluster is distinct from those of the parent Au25(PET)18 and one-metal doped PdAu24(PET)18 and HgAu24(PET)18 nanoclusters, which can be implied by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. This study provides a new design rule for the two-metal-heteroatom doped nanoclusters.
