Catalytic enhancement of gold nanocages induced by undercoordination-charge-polarization

Principle behind the highest catalytic ability of the least coordinated gold remains a puzzle. With the aid of density functional theory calculations, we show that in 3-coordinated gold cages (i) the Au–Au bond contracts by 5% in average, (ii) the valance density-of-states shift up to Fermi level w...
