Resumen
In this letter, we discussed the plausible formation of [Au11Re] as a superatom with an electronic structure accounted by the 1S21P61D10 shell order, denoting similar stability to [W@Au12]. The possible hollow or endohedral structures show a variable HOMO-LUMO gap according to the given structure (from 0.33 to 1.30 eV, at the PBE/ZORA level). Our results show that the energy minimum is an endohedral arrangement, where Re is encapsulated in a D3h-Au11 cage, retaining a higher gold-dopant stoichiometric ratio. This approach is useful for further rationalization and design of novel superatoms expanding the libraries of endohedral clusters. © 2018
