“…Thiolate-protected gold clusters (Au n (SR) m ) 645 are stable compared with other metal clusters and are promising materials for use in a variety of applications. Extensive investigations have shown that Au n (SR) m clusters, such as Au 25 (SR) 18 , Au 38 (SR) 24 , Au 102 (SR) 44 , and Au 144 (SR) 60 (Figure 1), are particularly stable and have been referred to as magic clusters. 2,8,11,12,21,4658 These magic Au n (SR) m clusters can be synthesized precisely at the atomic level.…”
