Abstract

Monostibine-protected ionic Au<sub>13</sub>nanoclusters, namely, [Au<sub>13</sub>(L)<sub>8</sub>(Cl)<sub>4</sub>][Cl] (L = SbPh<sub>3</sub>,<bold>2a</bold>·Cl; Sb(<italic>p</italic>-tolyl)<sub>3</sub>,<bold>2b</bold>·Cl) were prepared by the direct reduction of Au(L)Cl with NaBH<sub>4</sub>in dichloromethane.
