A series of chiral Au-13 nanoclusters were successfully synthesized and characterized, exhibiting high luminescence and stability. This opens up opportunities for further investigation into the impact of chirality on the properties of these clusters.
A series of chiral Au-13 nanoclusters were synthesized via the direct reduction of achiral dinuclear Au(i) halide complexes ligated by ortho-xylyl-linked bis-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. A broad range of functional groups are tolerated as wingtip substituents, allowing for the synthesis of a variety of functionalized chiral Au-13 nanoclusters. Single crystal X-ray crystallography confirmed the molecular formula to be [Au-13(bisNHC)(5)Cl-2]Cl-3, with a chiral helical arrangement of the five bidentate NHC ligands around the icosahedral Au-13 core. This Au-13 nanocluster is highly luminescent, with a quantum yield of 23%. The two enantiomers of the Au-13 clusters can be separated by chiral HPLC, and the isolated enantiomers were characterized by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The clusters show remarkable stability, including configurational stability, opening the door to further investigation of the effect of chirality on these clusters.
