Abstract

Ab initio calculations are used to model small Aun nanoclusters and AumSH clusters. The results for the Au6, Au8, and Au20 clusters demonstrate that the substitution of a SH group for a Au atom gives a stable cluster of the same geometry if the Au atom has an acute bond angle and a negative effective charge. The exam- ple of the Au10 cluster suggests that SH substitution for Au has a stabilizing effect. The modeling results are discussed with application to self-organizing thiol monolayers on gold clusters.
