Heavier Counterparts for Phosphine-Protected Gold Clusters. Electronic, Bonding, and Optical Properties of Au13Cl2(L5) and Au13(L6) Superatoms

Abstract Ligand-protected clusters with atomically precise structures serve as prototypical models for understanding versatility at the bottom of the nanoscale regime. Here, we set to investigate the impact of ligand identity on the structural, bonding, and optical properties bas...
