Atomically precise Au(SR) nanoclusters (R = Et, Pr) are capped by 12 distinct ligand types of 5-fold equivalence and display gigantic diastereotopic effects
Dainese T, Agrachev M, Antonello S, Badocco D, Black D, Fortunelli A, et al.
Chem Sci . 2019 Jan; 9(47):8796-8805. PMID: 30647884
For two decades, Au(SR) has been one of the most studied and used thiolate (SR) protected gold nanoclusters. In many ways, however, it proved to be a challenging and elusive...

Nuclear and Electron Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopies of Atomically Precise Gold Nanoclusters
Agrachev M, Ruzzi M, Venzo A, Maran F
Acc Chem Res . 2018 Nov; 52(1):44-52. PMID: 30480998
Atomically precise gold nanoclusters display properties that are unseen in larger nanoparticles. When the number of gold atoms is sufficiently small, the clusters exhibit molecular properties. Their study requires extensive...
