Abstract Structure evolution has become an effective way to assemble novel monolayer‐
protected metal nanomolecules. However, evolution with alkynyl‐stabilized metal clusters …

Atomically precise gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are an emerging class of quantum‐sized
nanomaterials. Intrinsic discrete electronic energy levels have endowed them with …

Owing to the atomically precise structures, metal nanoclusters (NCs) have always served as
model molecular tools to analyze NC surface chemistry and to investigate structure …

An alkynyl‐protected gold nanocluster, Au22 (tBuC≡ C) 18 (1), has been synthesized and
its structure has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The molecular structure …

Two homoleptic alkynyl‐protected gold clusters with compositions of Na [Au25 (C≡ CAr) 18]
and (Ph4P)[Au25 (C≡ CAr) 18](Na⋅ 1 and Ph4P⋅ 1, Ar= 3, 5‐bis (trifluoromethyl) phenyl) …

The rod‐shaped Au25 nanocluster possesses a low photoluminescence quantum yield
(QY= 0.1%) and hence is not of practical use in bioimaging and related applications. Herein …

The structural features that render gold nanoclusters intrinsically fluorescent are currently
not well understood. To address this issue, highly fluorescent gold nanoclusters have to be …

We report the controlled synthesis and structures of two isomeric gold nanoclusters, whose
compositions are determined to be Au23 (C≡ CBut) 15 (denoted as Au 23-1 and Au 23-2) …

Arylation of gold holds paramount importance in the domain of organometallic chemistry;
however, the exploration of arylgold nanoclusters remains in its infancy primarily due to the …

Herein, we report a new method to synthesize molecular gold nanoclusters (AuNCs)
stabilized by phosphine (PR3) and di-N-heterocyclic carbene (di-NHC) ligands. The …
