In this study, we successfully demonstrated the atomically precise synthesis of gold cluster cations by magnetron sputtering onto a PEG solution of dppp. The formation of cationic species was confirmed through UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and the involvement of [Au(dppp)(2)](+) cations as key components in cluster formation was proposed based on experimental observations.
We demonstrated, for the first time, atomically precise synthesis of gold cluster cations by magnetron sputtering of a gold target onto a polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution of 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (Ph2PCH2CH2CH2PPh2, dppp). UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry revealed the formation of cationic species, such as [Au(dppp)(n)](+) (n = 1, 2), [Au-2(dppp)(n)](2+) (n = 3, 4), [Au-6(dppp)(n)](2+) (n = 3, 4), and [Au-11(dppp)(5)](3+). The formation of [Au(dppp)(2)](+) was ascribed to ionization of Au(dppp)(2) by the reaction with PEG, based on its low ionization energy, theoretically predicted, mass spectrometric detection of deprotonated anions of PEG. We proposed that [Au(dppp)(2)](+) cations thus formed are involved as key components in the formation of the cluster cations.
