We present the first successful isolation and crystallographic characterization of a Mackay 55-metal-atom two-shell icosahedron, Pd55L12(μ3-CO)20 (L = PPr(i)3) (1). Its two-shell icosahedron of pseudo-Ih symmetry (without isopropyl substituents) enables a structural/bonding comparison with interior 55-metal-atom two-shell icosahedral geometries observed within the multi-shell capped 145-metal-atom three-shell Pd145(CO)72(PEt3)30 and 165-metal-atom four-shell Pt-centered (μ12-Pt)Pd164-xPtx(CO)72(PPh3)20 (x ≈ 7) nanoclusters, and within the recently reported four-shell Au133(SC6H4-p-Bu(t))52 nanocluster. DFT calculations carried out on a Pd55(CO)20(PH3)12 model analogue, with triisopropyl phosphine substituents replaced by H atoms, revealed a positive +0.84 e charge for the entire Pd55 core, with a highly positive second-shell Pd42 surface of +1.93 e.
我们首次成功分离并对钯 55 金属原子双壳二十面体 Pd55L12(μ3-CO)20(L = PPr(i)3)(1)进行了晶体学表征。其具有拟 Ih 对称的双壳二十面体(无异丙基取代基),能够与多壳层盖帽的 145 金属原子三壳层 Pd145(CO)72(PEt3)30 和 165 金属原子四壳层以 Pt 为中心的(μ12-Pt)Pd164-xPtx(CO)72(PPh3)20(x ≈ 7)纳米团簇以及最近报道的四壳层 Au133(SC6H4-p-Bu(t))52 纳米团簇内观察到的内部 55 金属原子双壳二十面体几何结构进行结构/键合比较。对具有三异丙基膦取代基被 H 原子取代的 Pd55(CO)20(PH3)12 模型类似物进行的 DFT 计算表明,整个 Pd55 核带正电荷 +0.84 e,高度正的第二壳层 Pd42 表面带正电荷 +1.93 e。
