Abstract

Comparative theoretical and experimental investigations are reported into chemically induced magnetism in atomically-precise, ligand-stabilized gold clusters Au₂₅, Au₃₈ and Au₅₅. The results indicate that [Au₂₅(PPh₃)₁₀(SC ₁₂H₂₅)₅Cl₂]²⁺ and Au ₃₈(SC₁₂H₂₅)₂₄ are diamagnetic, Au₂₅(SC₂H₄Ph)₁₈ is paramagnetic, and Au₅₅(PPh₃)₁₂Cl₆, is ferromagnetic at room temperature. Understanding the magnetic properties resulting from quantum size effects in such atomically precise gold clusters could lead to new fundamental discoveries and applications.
