Crystallographically Proven Nanometer‐Sized Gold Thiolate Cluster Au102(SR)44: Its Unexpected Molecular Anatomy and Resulting Stereochemical and Bonding Consequences
Source abstract
Abstract
A stereochemical analysis of the recent crystal-structure determination by Kornberg and co-workers of the first known thiolate-ligated gold nanocluster (see image) revealed two major surprises, which are discussed in this Highlight article.

13. Atomic coordinates (x y z) reported by Kornberg and co‐workers[5]for Au102(SR)44 where R denotes the p‐benzoic acid group are based upon their choice of origin for C2/c being located on a twofold axis. A shift of their origin to an inversion center on the glide planec which is the standard centrosymmetric setting for C2/c may be readily obtained from the atomic transformation:x′ = x y′ = y z′ = z−0.25.

25. This terminology which was coined in 1989 by Schmidbaur [17]is used to describe Au–Au connectivities among closed‐shell Au(I) centers at distances of 2.7–3.3 Å; extensive experimental and theoretical evidence[3b 3c 17]has assigned these attractive interactions (energetically estimated to be analogous to standard hydrogen bonding) to strong dispersion forces (also described as correlation effects) that are markedly enhanced by relativistic effects which are particularly pronounced for gold.
