Precise atomic structure of metal nanoclusters (NCs) is fundamental for elucidating the structure-property relationships and the inherent size-evolution principles. Reported here is the largest known FCC-based (FCC=face centered cubic) silver nanocluster, [Ag (SC H F ) (PPh ) ] : the first all-octahedral symmetric nesting Ag nanocluster with a four-layered Ag @Ag @Ag S @Ag S P structure, consistent symmetry elements, and a unique rhombicuboctahedral morphology distinct from theoretical predictions and previously reported FCC-based Ag clusters. DFT studies revealed extensive interlayer interactions and degenerate frontier orbitals. The FCC-based Russian nesting doll model constitutes a new platform for the study of the size-evolution principles of Ag NCs.
金属纳米团簇(NCs)精确的原子结构对于阐明结构-性质关系和内在的尺寸演化原理至关重要。本文报道了已知最大的基于面心立方(FCC)的银纳米团簇[Ag(SC₆H₄F)(PPh₃)₃]:首个具有Ag₉@Ag₈@Ag₄S₄@Ag₄S₄P四层结构、一致对称元素且具有不同于理论预测和先前报道的基于FCC的银团簇的独特菱形十二面体形态的全八面体对称嵌套银纳米团簇。密度泛函理论(DFT)研究揭示了广泛的层间相互作用和简并前沿轨道。基于FCC的俄罗斯套娃模型构成了研究银纳米团簇尺寸演化原理的新平台。
