Electron counting and bonding patterns in assemblies of three and more silver-rich superatoms

Abstract: DFT calculations were carried out on a series of cluster cores, the framework of which being made of the condensation of several Pt@Ag12 centered icosahedra. Icosahedra condensations through vertex-sharing, face-sharing...

“…Non-spherical metal group 11 nanoclusters, the structure of which can be described as resulting from the assembly of several pseudospherical individual units (most often icosahedral) are becoming quite common. 33,51,52,[86][87][88][89][90] In such assemblies, the icosahedral units share either a vertex, a triangular face or are interpenetrated in such a way they share a pentagonal face and its two capping atoms. Such assemblies of individual superatomic units can be viewed as "supermolecules", with supermolecular orbitals looking like molecular orbitals, and electron counts related to that of simple main-group molecules, depending on their fusion extent, in the same way as molecule electron counts depend on bond orders (BOs).…”
