Abstract

Abstract : The aerobic stabilities of four new Au25 nanocluster-metal sandwich composites are provided by and related to the metal-sandwich ring sizes. Abstract : Four stable 19-electron Fe and Co sandwich electron-reservoirs and three hydride reservoir complexes reduce the prototypal nanocluster Au25 (SR)18 (R = CH2 CH2 Ph) leading to a largely increased kinetic stabilization of the anionic nanocluster form compared to previously known nanocluster anion salts; these salts represent new and robust nanocomposite anionic gold clusters with 18-electron sandwich complexes as counter cations.
