Electron and Hydride Addition to Gold(I) Thiolate Oligomers: Implications for Gold–Thiolate Nanoparticle Growth Mechanisms
Electron and hydride addition to Au(I):SR oligomers is investigated using density functional theory. Cyclic and chain-like clusters are examined in this work. Dissociation to Au– ions and Aun(SR)n+1–… Expand

The golden pathway to thiolate-stabilized nanoparticles: following the formation of gold(I) thiolate from gold(III) chloride.
Pathways for the formation of gold thiolate complexes from gold(III) chloride precursors AuCl(4)(-) and AuCl(3) are examined. This work demonstrates that two distinct reaction pathways are possible;… Expand

Theoretical examination of solvent and R group dependence in gold thiolate nanoparticle synthesis.
The growth of gold thiolate nanoparticles can be affected by the solvent and the R group on the ligand. In this work, the difference between methanol and benzene solvents as well as the effect of… Expand

Theoretical investigation of the growth mechanism of gold thiolate nanoparticles
Computational Investigation of the Preferred Binding Modes of N2O in Group 8 Metal Complexes.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potentially important oxidant for green chemistry applications but thus far has shown limited examples as a ligand for transition metal complexes. Given the lack of reported… Expand
A topological isomer of the Au25(SR)18- nanocluster.
Energetically low-lying structural isomers of the much-studied thiolate-protected gold cluster Au25(SR)18- are discovered from extensive (80 ns) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the reactive… Expand
