The Intermetalloid Cluster [(Cp*AlCu)6H4], Embedding a Cu6 Core Inside an Octahedral Al6 Shell: Molecular Models of Hume–Rothery Nanophases

Abstract: Defined molecular models for the surface chemistry of Hume-Rothery nanophases related to catalysis are very rare. The Al-Cu intermetalloid cluster [(Cp*AlCu)6H4] was selectively obtained from the clean reaction of [(Cp*Al)4] and [(Ph3PCuH)6]. The stronger affinity of Cp*Al towards Cu sweeps the phosphine ligands from the copper hydride precursor and furnishes an octahedral Al6 cage to encapsulate the Cu6 core. The resulting hydrido cluster M12H4 reacts with benzonitrile to give the stoichiometric hydrometalati… Show more

“…In fact, to our knowledge, only two such complexes are known, namely, [(Cp*AlCu) 6 H 4 ] and [Cu 25 H 22 (PPh 3 ) 12 ]Cl (1). [14][15] Herein, we describe the synthesis and structural characterization of the largest copper superatom known to-date, namely, the novel Cu 29 nanocluster, [Cu 29 Cl 4 H 22 (Ph 2 phen) 12 ]Cl (2). This material was generated via an unprecedented cluster growth mechanism, involving ligand exchange at room temperature, followed by CuCl monomer dissociation and capture by a previously assembled Cu 25 core.…”
