We present a study of the structural evolution of palladium cluster anions in a size range from 55 to 147 atoms using a combination of trapped ion electron diffraction and density functional theory computations. We show that Pd clusters ( = 55, 65, 75, 85, 95, 105, and 147) change from an icosahedral motif at Pd to the bulk fcc motif at Pd. This size-dependent structure transition is probed experimentally at a temperature of 95 K and characterized by a continuously increasing fraction of fcc isomers over the considered size range showing a crossover to the fcc motif at ≈ 90.
我们使用囚禁离子电子衍射和密度泛函理论计算相结合的方法，研究了钯团簇阴离子在 55 到 147 个原子范围内的结构演变。结果表明，钯团簇（ = 55、65、75、85、95、105 和 147）从 Pd 的二十面体结构转变为 Pd 的体心立方结构。这种尺寸依赖性的结构转变在 95 K 的温度下通过实验进行了探测，并通过在考虑的尺寸范围内连续增加 fcc 异构体的分数来进行特征化，在 ≈ 90 时表现出向 fcc 结构的转变。
