Remarkable enhancement in ligand-exchange reactivity of thiolate-protected Au25 nanoclusters by single Pd atom doping

Abstract

The effect of Pd doping on the ligand-exchange reactivity of Au25(SC12H25)18 was studied by comparing the ligand-exchange reactivity of [Au25(SC12H25)18] and [PdAu24(SC12H25)18]0 and the results clearly demonstrate that, regardless of the kind of incoming thiols and solvents, Pd doping greatly increases the rate of ligand exchange of Au25(SC12H25)18, indicating an enhanced ease of ligand exchange.
