An alloy nanocluster of Au_11-xCu_x(dppf)₄Cl₂ (x=1, 2; dppf=1, 1'-bis(diphenylphosphine) ferrocene) was synthesized via a one -pot reduction method. X-ray crystallography shows that this nanocluster has a defective icosahedral core, which is analog to that of Au₁₁(dppf)₄Cl₂. The difference lies in that Cu atoms replace the inner shell Au atoms that are coordinated with the Cl atom. Therefore, Au_11-xCu_x(dppf)₄Cl₂ can be regarded as Cu-doped Au₁₁(dppf)₄Cl₂. The introduction of Cu atoms exerts an influence on the electronic property of the template nanocluster with the structural framework maintained, further resulting in a red shift of the optical absorption.
