Correlating the Crystal Structure of A Thiol-Protected Au Cluster and Optical Properties.

The article focuses on the unusual single crystal structure of a phenylethanethiol-capped, 25-atom gold cluster. Researchers correlated the structure with its optical absorption spectrum by performing time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. They suggested the importance to pre...

Sumario:The article focuses on the unusual single crystal structure of a phenylethanethiol-capped, 25-atom gold cluster. Researchers correlated the structure with its optical absorption spectrum by performing time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. They suggested the importance to prepare a series of size discrete gold thiolate clusters and to characterize their structures within the range.
