Atomic structure of a seed-sized gold nanoprism

The formation pathway of shape-anisotropic nanoparticles is difficult to characterize and not well understood. The authors synthesize a prismatic-shaped Au56 nanocluster as possible seed of a prismatic nanoparticle and characterize the structure and ligand bonding motifs, providing insight into the...
