Comparison of the Catalytic Properties of 25-Atom Gold Nanospheres and Nanorods

Abstract

Abstract: The catalytic properties of two nanocluster catalysts with atomically precisely known structures, icosahedral two-shelled Au₂₅(SC₂H₄Ph)₁₈ nanospheres and biicosahedral Au₂₅(PPh₃)₁₀(SC₂H₄Ph)₅Cl₂ nanorods, were compared. Their catalytic performance in the two reactions of the selective oxidation of styrene and chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated benzalacetone was investigated. The catalytic activities of icosahedral Au₂₅(SC₂H₄Ph)₁₈ nanospheres were superior to those of the bi-icosahedral Au₂₅(PPh₃)₁₀(SC₂H₄Ph)₅Cl₂ nanorods for both reactions. The better catalytic performance of the Au₂₅(SC₂H₄Ph)₁₈ nanospheres can be attributed to their unique core-shell (Au₁₃/Au₁₂) geometric structure that has an open exterior atomic shell and to their electronic structure with an electron-rich Au₁₃ core and an electron-deficient Au₁₂ shell.

Key words: nanocluster catalyst, icosahedral Au25, biicosahedral Au25, selective oxidation, selective hydrogenation
