Atomically precise gold cluster catalysts have emerged as a new frontier in catalysis science, owing to their unexpected catalytic properties. In this work, we explore the evolution of the catalytic activity of clusters formed by the structural fusion of icosahedral Au13 units, namely Au25(SR)18, Au38(SR)24, and Au25(PPh3)10(SC2H4Ph)5Cl2, in the oxidation of pyrrolidine to γ-butyrolactam. We demonstrate that the structural fusion of icosahedral Au13 units, forming vertex-fused (vf), face-fused (ff), and body-fused (bf) clusters, can induce a decrease in the catalytic activity in the following order: Aubf > Auff > Auvf. The structural fusion of icosahedral Au13 units in the clusters does not distinguish the adsorption modes of pyrrolidine over the three clusters from each other, but modulates the chemical adsorption capacity and electronic properties of the three clusters, which is likely to be the key reason for the observed changes in catalytic reactivity. Our results are expected to be extendable to study and design atomically defined catalysts with elaborate structural patterns, in order to produce desired products.
