Electrochemical and Optical Spectroscopic Probing of Transition‐Sized Au130(SR)50 Nanoclusters
Abstract Ultrasmall metal nanoclusters (NCs) exhibit a quantized conduction band, hence, a distinct HOMO‐LUMO gap (Eg). Such a quantized electronic structure gives rise to multiple discrete peaks in the optical absorption spectrum of the NCs. As the size grows to 130 gold atoms (Au130 protected by l...
