ABSTRACT
Here we report the synthesis and crystallization of a -COOH-capped N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-protected Au13 cluster. The single-crystal structure of the -COOH-capped NHC-Au13 cluster reveals a classic icosahedral core with one Au atom in its center. The icosahedral core is surrounded by five NHC ligands with pseudo C5 symmetry and exposed carboxyls in a pentagonal antiprism fashion. The detailed formula of the Au cluster was identified as Au13(bi-NHC carboxyl)5Cl2 (hereafter abbreviated as Au13-c). The density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that Au13-c is an electronically stable eight-electron super-atom cluster and elucidate its optical transitions in the UV-Vis range. The Au13-c cluster exhibits excellent thermal and chemical stability under bio-relevant conditions. Additionally, this cluster shows a strong red emission in DMF and H2O with an excellent quantum yield (QY) of 40% and 12.6%, respectively. The high QY of Au13-c enables its use in cell imaging on both cancer and noncancerous cells.
