Crystal Structure of the PdAu24(SR)18(0) Superatom.

ABSTRACT: The single-crystal X-ray structure of Pd-doped Au25(SR)18 was solved. The crystal structure reveals that in PdAu24(SR)18, the Pd atom is localized only to the centroid of the Au25(SR)18 cluster. This single-crystal X-ray structure shows that PdAu24(SR)18(0) is well conceptualized with the superatom theory. The PdAu24(SR)18(0) charge state is isoelectronic with Au25(SR)18(+1) as determined by a first order Jahn-Teller effect of similar magnitude and by electrochemical comparison. The previously reported increased stability of PdAu24(SR)18 can be rationalized in terms of Pd-Au bonds that are shorter than the Au-Au bonds in Au25(SR)18.

Practical Stability of Au25(SR)18-1/0/+1.

Project description:Superatom electron shell and/or geometric shell filling underlies the thermodynamic stability of coinage and alkali metal clusters in both theoretical and experimental results. Factors beyond simple shell filling contribute substantially to the lifetime of ligated clusters in solution. Such factors include the nature of the solvent, the atmosphere and the steric size of the ligand shell. Here we systematically lay out a 'practical' stability model for ligated metal clusters, which includes both shell-closing aspects and colloidal stability aspects. Cluster decomposition may follow either fusion or fission pathways. Solvent polarity can be determinative of the decomposition pathway.

Superatom Paramagnetism in Au102(SR)441-/0/1+/2+ Oxidation States.

Project description:Gold nanoclusters show distinctive magnetic properties and electronic structure. Nanoclusters of sufficiently small size restructure geometrically to stabilize electronically (e.g., a Jahn-Teller effect), whereas geometric distortion may not be possible in larger nanoclusters. In this work, the charge-state-dependent magnetism of the Au102(SPh)441-/0/1+/2+ nanocluster is investigated through Evans method NMR measurements. The 2+ charge state is shown as paramagnetic. This suggests that the nanocluster does not distort geometrically to pair electrons. Because the nanocluster lies within the transition range of molecule-like to bulk-like properties, this suggests that the geometric stabilization that becomes important in larger "magic number clusters" may be resistant to electronically driven distortions observed in smaller nanoclusters.

Ag44(SR)30(4-): a silver-thiolate superatom complex.

Project description:Intensely and broadly absorbing nanoparticles (IBANs) of silver protected by arylthiolates were recently synthesized and showed unique optical properties, yet question of their dispersity and their molecular formulas remained. Here IBANs are identified as a superatom complex with a molecular formula of Ag(44)(SR)(30)(4-) and an electron count of 18. This molecular character is shared by IBANs protected by 4-fluorothiophenol or 2-naphthalenethiol. The molecular formula and purity is determined by mass spectrometry and confirmed by sedimentation velocity-analytical ultracentrifugation. The data also give preliminary indications of a unique structure and environment for Ag(44)(SR)(30)(4-).

Density Functional Theory Studies of the Electronic Structure and Muon Hyperfine Interaction in [Au25(SR)18]0 and [Au25(SeR)18]0 Nanoclusters.

Project description:Density functional theory computational investigation was performed to study the electronic structures, muon sites, and the associated hyperfine interactions in [Au25(SR)18]0 and [Au25(SeR)18]0 where R is phenylethane. The calculated electronic structures show inhomogeneous spin density distribution and are also affected by different ligands. The two most stable muon sites near Au atoms in the thiolated system are MAu11 and MAu6. When the thiolate ligands were replaced by selenolate ligands, the lowest energy positions of muons moved to MAu6 and MAu5. Muons prefer to stop inside the Au12 icosahedral shell, away from the central Au and the staple motifs region. Muonium states at phenyl ring and S/Se atoms in the ligand were found to be stable and the Fermi contact fields are much larger as compared to the field experienced by muons near Au atoms.

Jahn-Teller effects in Au25(SR)18.

Project description:The relationship between oxidation state, structure, and magnetism in many molecules is well described by first-order Jahn-Teller distortions. This relationship is not yet well defined for ligated nanoclusters and nanoparticles, especially the nano-technologically relevant gold-thiolate protected metal clusters. Here we interrogate the relationships between structure, magnetism, and oxidation state for the three stable oxidation states, -1, 0 and +1 of the thiolate protected nanocluster Au25(SR)18. We present the single crystal X-ray structures of the previously undetermined charge state Au25(SR)18+1, as well as a higher quality single crystal structure of the neutral compound Au25(SR)180. Structural data combined with SQUID magnetometry and DFT theory enable a complete description of the optical and magnetic properties of Au25(SR)18 in the three oxidation states. In aggregate the data suggests a first-order Jahn-Teller distortion in this compound. The high quality single crystal X-ray structure enables an analysis of the ligand-ligand and ligand-cluster packing interactions that underlie single-crystal formation in thiolate protected metal clusters.

Perfect Spherical Tetrahedral Metallo-Borospherene Ta4B18 as a Superatom Following the 18-Electron Rule.

Project description:Cage-like metallo-borospherenes exhibit unique structures and bonding. Inspired by the newly reported smallest spherical trihedral metallo-borospherene D 3h Ta3B12 - (1), which contains two equivalent B3 triangles interconnected by three B2 units on the cage surface, we present herein a first-principles theory prediction of the perfect spherical tetrahedral metallo-borospherene T d Ta4B18 (2), which possesses four equivalent B3 triangles interconnected by six B atoms, with four equivalent nonacoordinate Ta centers in four η9-B9 rings as integrated parts of the cage surface. As the well-defined global minimum of the neutral, Ta4B18 (2) possesses four 10c-2e B9(π)-Ta(dσ) and eight 10c-2e B9(π)-Ta(dδ) coordination bonds evenly distributed over four Ta-centered Ta@B9 nonagons, with the remaining 18 valence electrons in nine 22c-2e totally delocalized bonds following the 18-electron principle (1S21P61D10) of a superatom. Such a bonding pattern renders spherical aromaticity to the tetrahedral complex, which can be used as building blocks to form the face-centered cubic crystal Ta4B15 (3). The IR, Raman, and UV-vis spectra of Ta4B18 (2) are theoretically simulated to facilitate its future experimental characterizations.

Crystal structures of Sr(ClO4)2·3H2O, Sr(ClO4)2·4H2O and Sr(ClO4)2·9H2O.

Project description:The title compounds, strontium perchlorate trihydrate {di-μ-aqua-aquadi-μ-perchlorato-strontium, [Sr(ClO4)2(H2O)3] n }, strontium perchlorate tetra-hydrate {di-μ-aqua-bis-(tri-aqua-diperchloratostrontium), [Sr2(ClO4)4(H2O)8]} and strontium perchlorate nona-hydrate {hepta-aqua-diperchloratostrontium dihydrate, [Sr(ClO4)2(H2O)7]·2H2O}, were crystallized at low temperatures according to the solid-liquid phase diagram. The structures of the tri- and tetra-hydrate consist of Sr(2+) cations coordinated by five water mol-ecules and four O atoms of four perchlorate tetra-hedra in a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic coordination mode. The asymmetric unit of the trihydrate contains two formula units. Two [SrO9] polyhedra in the trihydrate are connected by sharing water mol-ecules and thus forming chains parallel to [100]. In the tetra-hydrate, dimers of two [SrO9] polyhedra connected by two sharing water mol-ecules are formed. The structure of the nona-hydrate contains one Sr(2+) cation coordinated by seven water mol-ecules and by two O atoms of two perchlorate tetra-hedra (point group symmetry ..m), forming a tricapped trigonal prism (point group symmetry m2m). The structure contains additional non-coordinating water mol-ecules, which are located on twofold rotation axes. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the water mol-ecules as donor and ClO4 tetra-hedra and water mol-ecules as acceptor groups lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network in each of the three structures.

Project description:The title compound, [Cs(CH3COO)(C28H16O8)(C2H5OH)]·C2H5OH, is the product of the complexation between one vasarene analogue [1], bis ninhydrin naphthalene-1,3-diol and CsF, where the F(-) ion has reacted with residual acetic acid (AcOH), to form a [1]·CsOAc complex. The inter-molecular inter-actions with the multiple oxygen-containing functional groups of the ligand, as well as O-H?O hydrogen bonds involving the ethanol solvent mol-ecules, stabilize the complex, forming a chain along [100]. Additional parallel-displaced ?-? stacking, with an inter-planar distance of 3.669?(1)?Å, connect several unit cells in a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure, though, the larger size of AcO(-) (1.60?Å) compared to F(-) (1.33?Å) prevents the tight packing that was once achieved with other vasarene complexes of CsF.
