Popis
Atomically precise metal nanoclusters are nanoparticles less than 3 nm in size, which consist of a certain number of metal atoms protected by a specific number of thiolate ligands [1]. Such clusters of high number of atoms and atomically precise structure typical of molecular entities represent new emerging materials with numerous challenges related to understanding their molecular as well as supramolecular structure and their physical properties, and a correlation of the two. These species represent a transition from individual atoms, or their smaller arrays (several atoms) to the bulk form of the respective materials, and this transitional character makes them unique. Knowledge of the exact atomic structure represents an important milestone for understanding their physicochemical properties and thus for their possible use. For these reasons, single crystal X-ray diffraction is a very powerful tool.
