Abstract:We report a new strategy in which a thiolateprotected Ag 25 nanocluster can be doped with open dshell group 8 (Ru, Os) and 9 (Ir) metals by forming metal hydride (RuH 2 , OsH 2 , IrH) superatoms with a closed d-shell. Structural analyses using various experimental and theoretical methods revealed that the Ag 25 nanoclusters were co-doped with the open d-shell metal and hydride species to produce superatom-in-superatom nanoclusters, establishing a novel superatom doping phenomenon for open d-shell metals. The s… Show more
