Chemically modified superatoms have emerged as promising candidates in the new periodic table, in which Au and its doped M Au have been widely studied. However, their important counterpart, Ag artificial element, has not yet been synthesized. In this work, we report the synthesis of nanoclusters using strong chelating ability and rigid ligands, that fills the gaps in the icosahedral superatomic metal clusters. After further doping template with different degrees of Au atoms, we gained insight into the evolution of their optical properties. Theoretical calculations show that the kernel metal doping can modulate the transition of the excited-state electronic structure, and the electron transfer process changes from local excitation (LE) to charge transfer (CT) to LE. This study not only enriches the families of artificial superatoms, but also contributes to the understanding of the electronic states of superatomic clusters.
化学修饰的超原子已成为新元素周期表中颇具潜力的候选者,其中金及其掺杂的M@Au已得到广泛研究。然而,它们重要的对应物——银人工元素,尚未被合成出来。在这项工作中,我们报告了使用具有强螯合能力和刚性配体合成纳米团簇,填补了二十面体超原子金属簇的空白。在用不同程度的金原子进一步掺杂模板后,我们深入了解了它们光学性质的演变。理论计算表明,内核金属掺杂可以调节激发态电子结构的跃迁,电子转移过程从局域激发(LE)转变为电荷转移(CT)再转变为LE。这项研究不仅丰富了人工超原子的家族,也有助于理解超原子簇的电子态。
