- Abstract
- Atomically precise gold nanoclusters have attracted much attention over the past decade due to their well-defined structures which allow fundamental studies of structure-property relationships. They can serve as ideal models of nanoparticles and establish the bridge between metal complexes and conventional nanoparticles. The tetrahedral Au20 pyramidal cluster, discovered to be highly stable in the gas phase with different types of surface sites, has long been our pursuit as the perfect model catalyst. Towards this aim, many interesting clusters have been discovered and their structure-property relationships have been uncovered. This thesis mainly focuses on the syntheses of phosphine-protected gold clusters and the elucidation of ligand-Au interactions, optical and electronic properties as well as the application of atomically precise gold nanoclusters as model catalysts to understand catalytic reactions from the atomical level.
