title: Cluster-π electronic interaction in a superatomic Au13 cluster bearing σ-bonded acetylide ligands.
abstract: An organometallic Au13 cluster having two σ-bonded acetylide ligands was synthesized and its structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. Absorption spectral studies indicated the presence of electronic coupling between the superatomic Au13 core and the acetylide π-orbitals, which was supported by theoretical considerations.
