Magic nuclearity giant clusters formed by the mesoscale self-assembly of Pd nanocrystals of 2.5 nm diameter (nuclearity, ∼561) have been identified by transmission electron microscopy. The clusters have discrete diameters, corresponding to those expected for magic nuclearity of 13, 55, 147, 309, 561, and 1415 and corresponding to closed shells of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7, respectively. Imaging at different tilt angles has provided confirmation of the spherical nature of these giant clusters. Giant clusters of magic nuclearity have also been found with Pd nanocrystals of ∼3.2 nm diameter (nuclearity, ∼1415).
Based on UV and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it is shown that nickel metal clusters deposited on solid C60 and C70 films cause marked changes in the valence band spectra. In addition, the C 1s core-level of the fullerenes shift to lower binding energies while the Ni 2p3/2 core level shifts towards higher binding energies, especially at small metal coverages. These observations signify the occurrence of charge-transfer from the nickel metal to the fullerene. We also show that CO adsorbs weakly on C60 and C70 surfaces.
