Acid/Base-Controlled AuI/Au0 Reductive Transformations of the Monogold [(μ14-Au)Pd22(CO)20(PEt3)8]+ Monocation into Three Different Neutral Digold Nanoclusters: Au2Pd21(CO)20(PEt3)10, Au2Pd28(CO)26(PEt3)10, and New Five-Layer Hexagonal Close-Packed (μ12-Au)2Pd42(CO)30(PEt3)12 with a Trigonal-Bipyramidal AuPd3Au Kernel

Popis: The monogold [(μ14-Au)Pd22(CO)20(PEt3)8]+ nanocation (2, with a [(CF3CO2)2H]− counterion) is shown to be a versatile precursor for the generation of three different neutral Au–Pd nanoclusters with double gold content in their distinctly dissimilar bimetallic architectures. These carbon monoxide (CO)-induced conversions are based on the reduction of AuI to Au0 that is controlled by the reaction medium. Under basic and acidic conditions, the known Au2Pd21(CO)20(PEt3)10 (3; >90% yield) and Au2Pd28(CO)26(PEt3)10 (4; ∼40% yield), respectively, were obtained, whereas neutral conditions gave rise to the new (μ12-Au)2Pd42(CO)30(PEt3)12 (1; ∼10–20% yield; all yields based on gold). The molecular structure of 1, established from a 100 K CCD X-ray diffraction study, consists of a five-layer hexoganol close-packed (hcp) Au2Pd42 framework of pseudo-D3h symmetry (crystallographic D3 site symmetry) of the Pd6/AuPd9/Pd12/AuPd9/Pd6 layer sequence, with the Au atoms centering two identical hcp (μ12-Au)Pd12 face-fused anti-...
