Abstract

Herein, we report the intriguing structure, optical absorption and electrochemical properties of the transition-sized Au₉₂(TBBT)₄₄ (Au₉₂ for short, TBBT = 4-tert-butylbenzenethiolate) nanoparticle. An interesting observation is the 4H phase array of Au₉₂ nanoparticles in the unit cells of single crystals.
