One-Pot Synthesis of Atomically Precise Chiral PtAg4 Nanoclusters
Abstract
We report the synthesis and structural characterization of PtAg4Cl(BDPP)4H]2+, a novel bimetallic complex featuring an intrinsically chiral architecture. The heterometallic Pt–Ag core exhibits distinctive optical properties, while the chiral BDPP (BDPP is 2,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane) ligand not only induces structural asymmetry but also fine-tunes the electronic and steric characteristics of the complex.
