It has been known that alloyed nanoclusters can dramatically enhance the properties of homo-metal counterparts. The atomically precise doping in gold nanoclusters allows us to deeply understand nanocluster’s physical and chemical properties, as well as to tailor the nanoclusters with new properties. Particularly, metal compositions, precise atom numbers, and metal doping site play important roles on revealing their new enhanced functions and application potentials. For example, the superior catalytic performance and optical properties of silver-gold bi-metallic nanoclusters over homometal nanoclusters have been proposed in recent years. Herein, we present the controlling synthesis of doping nanoclusters with atomic precision, and their structure related optical and catalytic properties.
