Abstract

As an interdisciplinary product,water-soluble gold nanoclusters(AuNCs)stabilized by ligands containing carboxyl(-COOH)group have garnered significant attention from synthetic chemists and biologists due to their immense potential for biomedical applications.However,revealing the crystallographic struc-tures of-COOH-functionalized AuNCs remains a bottleneck.Herein,we successfully applied the salting-out method to obtain a series of high-quality single crystals of-COOH-functionalized Au25 nan-oclusters and revealed their crystallographic structures.Particularly,K3Au25(2-Hmna)9(mna)6]-(Au25a)protected by 2-mercaptonicotinic acid features an unprecedented tetrameric Au4(SRS)3(SRS,N)2 staple motifs surrounding the icosahedral Au13 kernel,breaking the traditional perception on the structure of Au25(SR)18.Au25a exhibits a distinct near-infrared emission at 970 nm with long lifetime of 8690 ns,which have been studied by transient absorption spectroscopy and time-dependent density functional theory.This work compensates for the research gap in the experimental structure of-COOH-functionalized AuNCs and opens up a new avenue to explore their structure-property correlations.
