Article Abstract
A 'passivated precursor' approach is developed for the efficient synthesis and isolation of all-alkynyl-protected gold nanoclusters. Direct reduction of dpa-passivated precursor Au-dpa (Hdpa=2,2'-dipyridylamine) in one-pot under ambient conditions gives a series of clusters including Au(C≡CR) (R=-CH-2-F), Au(C≡CR), Au(C≡CR), Au(C≡CR), and Au(C≡CR). These clusters can be well separated via column chromatography. The overall isolation yield of this series of clusters is 40 % (based on gold), which is much improved in comparison with previous approaches. It is notable that the molecular structure of the giant cluster Au(C≡CR) is revealed, which presents important information for understanding the structure of the mysterious Au nanoclusters. Theoretical calculations indicated Au(C≡CR) has a smaller HOMO-LUMO gap than Au(S-CH-4-CH). This facile and reliable synthetic approach will greatly accelerate further studies on all-alkynyl-protected gold nanoclusters.

Isomerization of nanoclusters is helpful for understanding the relationships between structures and properties. Surface-protecting ligands play a crucial role in controlling the atomic packing mode of the inner core. The synthesis and total structural determination of the all alkynyl-protected gold nanocluster (NEtCHCl)[Au(C≡CCHPh)] (Au-1) are reported.

Intrinsic dual-emission (DE) of gold nanoclusters in the near-infrared (NIR) are fascinating for fundamental importance and practical applications, but their synthesis remains a formidable challenge and sophisticated excited-state processes make elucidating DE mechanisms much more arduous. Here, we report an all-alkynyl-protected gold nanocluster, , showing a prolate Au tri-octahedral kernel surrounded by two Au(CZ-PrA) dimers, four Au(CZ-PrA) monomers, and two CZ-PrA bridges. exhibits distinguished photophysical properties including NIR DE at 820 and 940 nm, microsecond radiative relaxation, and 6.

The boundary between molecular and metallic gold nanoclusters is of special interest. The difficulty in obtaining atomically precise nanoclusters larger than 2 nm limits the determination of such a boundary. The synthesis and total structural determination of the largest all-alkynyl-protected gold nanocluster (PhP)[Au(C≡CR)] (R = 4-CFCH-) () are reported.

Great attention has been paid to nanoclusters having face-centered-cubic (fcc) metal kernels, because of the similarity of metal packing to that of bulk gold. So far, there is no precedent example of an all-alkynyl-protected fcc gold nanocluster with more than 100 gold atoms. We report the synthesis and total structure determination of an alkynyl-protected gold nanocluster [NEtH][Au(CFCHC≡C)] ().
