Reaction of ( p -tol 3 P) 2 PtCl 2 and Me 3 Sn(CC) 2 SiMe 3 (1 : 1/THF/reflux) gives monosubstituted trans -Cl( p -tol 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 2 SiMe 3 (63%), which with wet n -Bu 4 N + F − yields trans -Cl( p -tol 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 2 H ( 2 , 96%). Hay oxidative homocoupling (O 2 /CuCl/TMEDA) gives all- trans -Cl( p -tol 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 4 Pt(P p -tol 3 ) 2 Cl ( 3 , 68%). Reaction of 3 and Me 3 Sn(CC) 2 SiMe 3 (1 : 1/rt) affords monosubstituted all- trans -Cl( p -tol 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 4 Pt(P p -tol 3 ) 2 (CC) 2 SiMe 3 (46%), which is converted by a similar desilylation/homocoupling sequence to all- trans -Cl[( p -tol 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 4 ] 3 Pt(P p -tol 3 ) 2 Cl ( 7 ; 79%). Reaction of ( p -tol 3 P) 2 PtCl 2 and excess H(CC) 2 SiMe 3 (HNEt 2 /cat. CuI) gives trans -Me 3 Si(CC) 2 Pt(P p -tol 3 ) 2 (CC) 2 SiMe 3 (78%), which with wet n -Bu 4 N + F − affords trans -H(CC) 2 Pt(P p -tol 3 ) 2 (CC) 2 H (96%). Hay oxidative cross coupling with 2 (1 : 4) gives all- trans -Cl[( p -tol 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 4 ] 2 Pt(P p -tol 3 ) 2 Cl ( 10 , 36%) along with homocoupling product 3 (33%). Reaction of 3 and Me 3 Sn(CC) 2 SiMe 3 (1 : 2/rt) yields all- trans -Me 3 Si(CC) 2 ( p -tol 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 4 Pt(P p -tol 3 ) 2 (CC) 2 SiMe 3 ( 17 , 77%), which with wet n -Bu 4 N + F − gives all- trans -H(CC) 2 ( p -tol 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 4 Pt(P p -tol 3 ) 2 (CC) 2 H (96%). Reaction of 3 and excess Me 3 P gives all- trans -Cl(Me 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 4 Pt(PMe 3 ) 2 Cl ( 4 , 86%). A model reaction of trans -( p -tol)( p -tol 3 P) 2 PtCl and KSAc yields trans -( p -tol)( p -tol 3 P) 2 PtSAc ( 12 , 75%). Similar reactions of 3 , 7 , 10 , and 4 give all- trans -AcS[(R 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 4 ] n Pt(PR 3 ) 2 SAc (76–91%). The crystal structures of 3 , 17 , and 12 are determined. The first exhibits a chlorine–chlorine distance of 17.42 Å; those in 10 and 7 are estimated as 30.3 Å and 43.1 Å.more » « less

Developments in nanotechnology have made the creation of functionalized materials with atomic precision possible. Thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters, in particular, have become the focus of study in literature as they possess high stability and have tunable structure–property relationships. In addition to adjustments in properties due to differences in size and shape, heteroatom doping has become an exciting way to tune the properties of these systems by mixing different atomic d characters from transition metal atoms. Au 24 Pt(SR) 18 clusters, notably, have shown incredible catalytic properties, but fall short in the field of photochemistry. The influence of the Pt dopant on the photoluminescence mechanism and excited state dynamics has been investigated by a few experimental groups, but the origin of the differences that arise due to doping has not been clarified thoroughly. In this paper, density functional theory methods are used to analyze the geometry, optical and photoluminescent properties of Au 24 Pt(SR) 18 in comparison with those of [Au 25 (SR) 18 ] 1− . Furthermore, as these clusters have shown slightly different geometric and optical properties for different ligands, the analysis is completed with both hydrogen and propyl ligands in order to ascertain the role of the passivating ligands.more » « less
