Abstract

We report on the synthesis, stability, and photoluminescence (PL) properties of triphenylphosphine (PPh3)-stabilized PdAu10(PPh3)8Cl2 cluster, which is a mono-Pd-doped cluster of the well-studied Au11(PPh3)8Cl2 cluster. The PdAu10(PPh3)8Cl2 cluster was synthesized by simultaneously reducing two different metal complexes; AuCl(PPh3) and Pd(PPh3)4. Experimental evaluation of the stability showed that PdAu10(PPh3)8Cl2 is more stable against degradation in solution than the monometal Au11(PPh3)8Cl2 cluster. PL measurements revealed that PdAu10(PPh3)8Cl2 exhibits PL at 950 nm with a quantum yield of 1.5 × 10−3, which has not been observed for the monometal Au11(PPh3)8Cl2 cluster. The results indicate that Pd doping is a powerful method to produce clusters with higher stability and different physical properties than the monometal Au:PPh3 clusters.
