Structural Evolution of Atomically Precise Thiolated Bimetallic [AuCu(SR)] (n = 0, 2, 4, 6) Nanoclusters.

A series of all-thiol stabilized bimetallic Au-Cu nanoclusters, [AuCu(SR)] (n = 0, 2, 4, 6 and SR = SPhCF), are successfully synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Each cluster consists of a Keplerate two-shell Au@Cu core prot...
