Silvery fullerene in Ag102 nanosaucer

Despite the discovery of a series of fullerenes and a handful of noncarbon clusters with the typical topology of Ih-C60,the smallest fullerene with a large degree of curvature,C20,and its other-element counterparts are difficult to isolate experimentally.In coinage metal nanoclusters(NCs),the first all-gold fullerene,Au32,was discovered after a long-lasting pursuit,but the isolation of similar silvery fullerene structures is still challenging.Herein,we report a flying saucer-shaped 102-nuclei silver NC(Ag102)with a silvery fullerene kernel of Ag32,which is embraced by a robust cyclic anionic passivation layer of(KPO4)10.This Ag32 kernel can be viewed as a non-centered icosahedron Ag12 encaged into a dodecahedron Ag20,forming the silvery fullerene of Ag12@Ag2o.The anionic layer(KPO4)10 is located at the interlayer between the Ag32 kernel and Ag70 shell,passivating the Ag32 silvery fullerene and templating the Ag70 shell.The tBuPhS-and CF3COO-ligands on the silver shell show a regioselective arrangement with the 60 tBuPhS-ligands as expanders covering the upper and lower of the flying saucer and 10 CF3COO-as terminators neatly encircling the edges of the structure.In addition,Ag102 shows excellent photothermal conversion efficiency(η)from the visible to near-infrared region(η=67.1%±0.9%at 450 nm,60.9%±0.9%at 660 nm and 50.2%±0.5%at 808 nm),rendering it a promising material for photothermal converters and potential application in remote laser ignition.This work not only captures silver kernels with the topology of the smallest fullerene C20,but also provides a pathway for incorporating alkali metal(M)into coinage metal NCs via M-oxoanions.
