[Cu₅₈(SeC₆H₅)₂₄(Dppe)₆Se₁₆]²⁺ assembled from tetrahedra and octahedra: synthesis, characterization, structure and catalytic properties

Abstract

Herein, we successfully synthesized a copper nanocluster, [Cu58(SeC6H5)24(Dppe)6Se16]2+. This nanocluster features a tetrahedral Cu4 core, surrounded by tetrahedral Se4 and octahedral Cu6 subunits, and is further stabilized by 4 Cu3Se3,...
