Atomically precise copper dopants in metal clusters boost up stability, fluorescence, and photocatalytic activity
Copper doping of atomically precise gold nanoclusters is a useful strategy to tune their chemical and physical properties, but Au–Cu nanocluster alloys tend to exhibit poor stability. Here, a [Au12Cu13(Ph3P)10I7](SbF6)2 cluster is prepared and shown to display enhanced stability and fluorescence in...

| description | Copper doping of atomically precise gold nanoclusters is a useful strategy to tune their chemical and physical properties, but Au–Cu nanocluster alloys tend to exhibit poor stability. Here, a [Au12Cu13(Ph3P)10I7](SbF6)2 cluster is prepared and shown to display enhanced stability and fluorescence in comparison to homonuclear cluster [Au25(PPh3)10Br7](SbF6)2, in addition to promising photocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation. |
