“…The atomically precise metal nanoparticles (often called nanoclusters) bring unprecedented opportunities in signalling clear directions to exploit the cooperativity between the two metal elements within a single nanocluster. 3 Thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters, Au n (SR) m , where n is the number of gold atoms and m is the number of the thiolate ligand SR, have gained momentum over the past years as an exciting area and opened up new horizons in precise tailoring of the composition and structure to control the physicochemical properties. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The Au n (SR) m nanoclusters are typically configured with an inner gold core (or kernel) and various surface motifs, in which the motifs containing both gold and thiolate resemble the staples.…”

Atomically precise gold clusters are highly desirable due to their well-defined structure which allows the study of structure-property relationships. In addition, they have potential in technological applications such as nanoscale catalysis. The structural, chemical, electronic, and optical properties of ligated gold clusters are strongly defined by the metal-ligand interaction and type of ligands. This critical feature renders gold-phosphine clusters unique and distinct from other ligand-protected gold clusters. The use of multidentate phosphines enables preparation of varying core sizes and exotic structures beyond regular polyhedrons. Weak gold-phosphorous (Au-P) bonding is advantageous for ligand exchange and removal for specific applications, such as catalysis, without agglomeration. The aim of this review is to provide a unified view of gold-phosphine clusters and to present an in-depth discussion on recent advances and key developments for these clusters. This review features the unique chemistry, structural, electronic, and optical properties of gold-phosphine clusters. Advanced characterization techniques, including synchrotron-based spectroscopy, have unraveled substantial effects of Au-P interaction on the composition-, structure-, and size-dependent properties. State-of-the-art theoretical calculations that reveal insights into experimental findings are also discussed. Finally, a discussion of the application of gold-phosphine clusters in catalysis is presented.

“…15 Doping other metals into the parent nanoclusters is of paramount importance to attain atomically precise bimetal nanoclusters and to use them as well-dened materials for various applications, in particular, catalytic applications. [16][17][18][19][20] The monoplatinum-doped PtAu 24 (SR) 18 nanocluster as a heterogeneous catalyst exhibited higher activity than Au 25 (SR) 18 for the styrene oxidation. 16 Au 47 Cd 2 (TBBT) 31 from Au 44 (TBBT) 28 (TBBT ¼ 4-tert-butylbenzenethiol) doped with Cd atoms into the surface as an electrocatalyst gave rise to very high faradaic efficiencies for CO 2 electroreduction.…”
