Au Nanocluster Featuring a V-Shaped Alkynyl--Gold Motif.

A novel Au nanocluster with a composition of [Au(PhC≡C)(Hdppa)](SbF) was synthesized (Hdppa = N,N-bis(diphenylphosphino)amine). Single crystal X-ray structural analysis reveals that the cluster comprises a centered icosahedral Au core hugged by three V-shaped PhC≡C--Au--C≡C(Ph)--Au--C≡CPh motifs. Su...
