title: Au₁₃₇(SR)₅₆ nanomolecules: composition, optical spectroscopy, electrochemistry and electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂.
abstract: Au137(SR)56, a nanomolecule with a precise number of metal atoms and ligands, was synthesized. The composition was confirmed by MALDI and ESI mass spectrometry using three unique ligands (-SCH2CH2Ph, -SC6H13, and -SC4H9) and nano-alloys with Ag and Pd. The electrocatalytic properties were tested for CO2 reduction.
