Functionalized gold magic clusters: Au25(SPhNH2)17

Nanoscale. 2012 Dec 7;4(23):7334-7. doi: 10.1039/c2nr32367b.

Abstract

New Au(25) nanoclusters stabilized by heterotopic 4-aminothiophenolate ligands (HSPhNH(2)) have been isolated with a yield of ~70%. The nanoclusters formula determined by ESI-MS is Au(25)(SPhNH(2))(17), with the 18(th) position occupied by an amine or DMF molecules to close their electronic shell.
