摘要
The atomic arrangement of Au and Ag atoms in Au25-xAgx(SR)(18) was determined by X-ray crystallography. Ag atoms were selectively incorporated in the 12 vertices of the icosahedral core. The central atom and the metal atoms in the six [-SR-Au-SR-Au-SR-] units were exclusively gold, with 100% Au occupancy. The composition of the crystals determined by X-ray crystallography was Au18.3Ag6.7(SCH2CH2Ph)(18). This composition is in reasonable agreement with the composition Au18.8Ag6.2(SCH2CH2Ph)(18) measured by electrospray mass spectrometry. The structure can be described in terms of shells as Au-1@Au5.3Ag6.7@6X[-SR-Au-SR-Au-SR-]. Density functional theory calculations show that the electronic structure and optical absorption spectra are sensitive to the silver atom arrangement within the nanocluster.
