报告内容简介：
Ligand-stabilized, atomically precise gold nanoclusters with a metal core of a uniform size of just 1 – 3 nm are a fundamentally new class of nanomaterials amenable, for instance, for accurate site-specific conjugation to biomolecules. Previously, it has been shown that monodispersed gold nanoclusters, stabilized by meta mercapto benzoic acid (m-MBA or 3MBA) ligands and with sizes of 68 to 144 gold atoms, offer optimal ambient stability and affinity to cysteine-exposing proteins and to thiol-modified DNA. Here we show that a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible absorption, infrared spectroscopy, molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations reveal a low-symmetry C1 ligand layer of 3MBA around the gold core of Au68 and Au144. 3MBA protects the metal core not only by the covalent S-Au bond formation but also via weak p – Au and O=C-OH...Au interactions. The p – Au and -OH...Au interactions have a strength of the order of a hydrogen bond, thus are dynamic in water at ambient temperature. Our results lay a foundation to understand functionalization of atomically precise gold nanoclusters for bioconjugation or catalysis via a route where weak ligand-metal interfacial interactions are sacrificed for covalent bonding.
