| Abstract: | Structure isomerism is observed in noble metal nanoclusters; however, the mechanism study of this process is rarely reported. Herein, by using the biphosphine ligands instead of phosphine ligands, the high symmetry of the Au2Cu6(PPh3)2(SAdm)6 nanocluster is successfully broken and Au4Cu4(L1)2(SAdm)5]Br (where, L1 is bis(diphenylphosphine)methane, DPPM) nanocluster is obtained with chiral arrangement. This newly obtained nanocluster contains a total of four isomers in crystal unit cell. Interestingly, these isomers undergo rapid isomorphism in solution, which is confirmed by 1H‐1H COSY spectrum. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the water ripple–like transfer of the thiol ligands results from the isomorphism of nanoclusters. |
