Gold tetrahedra coil up: Kekulé-like and double helical superstructures
Magic-sized clusters, as the intermediate state between molecules and nanoparticles, exhibit critical transitions of structures and material properties. We report two unique structures of gold clusters solved by x-ray crystallography, including Au40 and Au52 protected by thiolates. The Au40 and Au52 clusters exhibit a high level of complexity, with the gold atoms in the cluster first segregated...
متن کاملGallium cluster "magic melters".
Calorimetry measurements (using a method based on multicollision induced dissociation) have been performed for unsupported gallium clusters, Gan+ (n = 30-50 and 55). Melting transitions have been identified from spikes in the heat capacities recorded as a function of temperature. There are enormous fluctuations in the melting temperatures and the heats of fusion with cluster size. Clusters with...

متن کاملB14(2+): a magic number double-ring cluster.
B(20) is a "magic number" cluster with double-ring structure. Surprisingly, we also find that B(14)(2+) is a "magic number" cluster with double-ring structure, which has the largest HOMO-LUMO gap (3.31 eV) and the highest aromaticity in double-ring clusters. This double-ring B(14)(2+) cluster is energetically lower than the quasi-planar one by even ∼1.2 eV using high level ab initio calculation...
متن کاملTetrahedral global minimum for the 98-atom Lennard-Jones cluster.
An unusual atomic cluster structure corresponding to the global minimum of the 98-atom Lennard-Jones cluster has been found using a variant of the basin-hopping global optimization algorithm. The structure has tetrahedral symmetry and an energy of -543.665 361 epsilon, which is 0.022 404 epsilon lower than the previous lowest-energy minimum. The LJ(98) structure is of particular interest becaus...
