The discovery of carbon fullerene cages and their solids opened a new avenue to build
materials from stable cage clusters as “artificial atoms” or “superatoms” instead of atoms …

The scientific study of gold nanoparticles (typically 1–100 nm) has spanned more than 150
years since Faraday's time and will apparently last longer. This review will focus on a special …

Gold is an element whose unique properties are strongly influenced by relativistic effects. A
large body of appropriate calculations now exists and its main conclusions are summarized …

A golden fullerene Au32 cluster has been synthesized with amido and phosphine ligands as
the protecting agents. Single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis revealed that this gold …

Magnetic clusters are aggregates of a few to thousands of atoms or molecules that exhibit
magnetism. Understanding the evolution of magnetism from individual atom to bulk solid is …

Presented herein are the preparation and crystallographic/microanalytical/magnetic/
spectroscopic characterization of the Pt-centered four-shell 165-atom Pd− Pt cluster,(μ12-Pt) …

Structural and catalytic properties of the gold alloy nanocluster Au43Cu12 are investigated
using a density-functional method. In contrast to the pure Au55 nanocluster, which exhibits a …

We report a femtosecond spectroscopic investigation on the electronic structure and
relaxation dynamics of a rod-shaped, 25-atom (Au25) nanocluster capped by organic …

The 20‐nanogold cluster Au20 exhibits a large variety of two‐and three‐dimensional
isomeric forms. Among them is the ground‐state isomer Au20 (Td) representing the stable …
