چکیده

A novel dodeca-ligated undecagold cluster having a nonagold core plus two exo-attached gold atoms was synthesized. Unlike the conventional icosahedron-based "core-only" isomer, the [9+2] cluster showed an intense visible absorption band. Theoretical calculation showed the involvement of the exo gold atoms in the generation of the unique electronic structure.

First-principles study on the electronic structure of Thiophenbithiol (TBT) on Au(100) surface

First principle calculations were performed using Density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) to understand the electronic properties of Au(100)+TBT system and compare the results with Au(100) and bulk Au properties. Band structure, the total DOS and charge density for these materials are calculated. We found that the HOMO for Au(100)+TBT becomes broader than Au...
