We report the complete X-ray crystallographic structure as determined through single-crystal X-ray diffraction and a thorough theoretical analysis of the green gold Au30(S-tBu)18. While the structure of Au30S(S-tBu)18 with 19 sulfur atoms has been reported, the crystal structure of Au30(S-tBu)18 without the μ3-sulfur has remained elusive until now, though matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) data unequivocally show its presence in abundance. The Au30(S-tBu)18 nanomolecule not only is distinct in its crystal structure but also has unique temperature-dependent optical properties. Structure determination allows a rigorous comparison and an excellent agreement with theoretical predictions of structure, stability, and optical response.

Abstract

We report the complete X-ray crystallographic structure as determined through single-crystal X-ray diffraction and a thorough theoretical analysis of the green gold Au30(S-tBu)18. While the structure of Au30S(S-tBu)18 with 19 sulfur atoms has been reported, the crystal structure of Au30(S-tBu)18 without the μ3-sulfur has remained elusive until now, though matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) data unequivocally show its presence in abundance. The Au30(S-tBu)18 nanomolecule not only is distinct in its crystal structure but also has unique temperature-dependent optical properties. Structure determination allows a rigorous comparison and an excellent agreement with theoretical predictions of structure, stability, and optical response.
