Abstract

AbstractAtomically precise alloy nanoclusters are one of the important nanomaterials, benefiting to investigate the structure‐property correlations at atomic level. Herein, we reported Au19Cu2(SR)15(SR: adamantanethiol) alloy nanocluster. The crystal structure of Cu−Au nanoclusters was determined by X‐ray crystallography and the molecular mass was further characterized via Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT‐ICR‐MS). The crystal structure shows the kernel of bi‐octahedrons Au10capped by a Au6Cu2(SR)9motif, a Au2(SR)3motif, a Au(SR)2motif and one S atom. It was observed that two Au atoms in the longest Au6Cu2(SR)9motif were replaced with two Cu atoms. Moreover, we explored optical properties of Au19Cu2(SR)15by UV‐vis absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Alloy nanocluster exhibits a strong emission at 700 nm. This work provides insights into the synthesis and the enhanced properties of Au−Cu alloy nanoclusters.
