Synthesis and electrospray mass spectrometry determination of thiolate-protected Au55(SR)31 nanoclusters.

Since the pioneering work of Schmid et al. on phosphine-capped Au(55) clusters, the search for thiolated Au(55) has long been of major interest. This work reports the synthesis and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) evidence of Au(55)(SCH(2)CH(2)Ph)(31) clusters.
