Site-specific substitution in atomically precise carboranethiol-protected nanoclusters and concomitant changes in electronic properties

Abstract We report the synthesis of [Ag17(o 1-CBT)12]3- abbreviated as Ag17, a stable 8e⁻ anionic cluster with a unique Ag@Ag12@Ag4 core-shell structure, where o 1-CBT is ortho-carborane-1-thiol. By substituting Ag atoms with Au and/or Cu at specific sites we created isostructural clusters [AuAg16(o...
