“…The majority of studies on the binary transition metal clusters focus on their formation, structure, and application in catalysis, magnetism, optics, thermodynamics, and mechanics. ,,, Due to the multivalent bonding character and low-lying excited state, the geometric and electronic structures of most bimetallic clusters are complicated and remain to be elucidated. Among the transition bimetallic clusters, gold−platinum binary clusters attract strong attention for their potential application in catalysis. ,6b, AuPt cluster shows different catalytic activity from that of pure Pt or Au clusters. 9a-c…”
