- Physics, ChemistryJournal of Physical Chemistry Letters
- 11 September 2013
These findings highlight the important role of "pseudo"-Au4 units within the FCC-like Au28 core in interpreting the bonding properties of Au36(SR)24 and suggest that FCC- like structure in gold thiolate nanoclusters should be treated differently from its bulk counterpart.
