An alloy cluster containing a 13‐atom core, with a composition Ag 7 Au 6 (H 2 MSA) 10 (H 2 MSA=mercaptosuccinic acid) was synthesized from silver clusters by a galvanic exchange reaction. The clusters were characterized by several spectroscopic and microscopic methods. The alloy cluster shows luminescence with a quantum yield of 3.5×10 −2 at room temperature. Theoretical calculations for Ag 7 Au 6 (SCH 3 ) 10 suggest a distorted icosahedral core.
