| Abstract | The recently reported crystal structure of the Au28(TBBT)20 cluster (TBBT: para-tert-butylbenzenethiolate) is analyzed with (Time-Dependent-) Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT). Bader charge analysis reveals a novel trimeric Au3(SR)4 binding motif. The cluster can be formulated as Au14(Au2(SR)3)4(Au3(SR)4)2. The electronic structure of the Au146+ core and the ligand-protected cluster were analyzed and their stability can be explained by formation of distorted eight-electron superatoms. Optical absorption and Circular Dichroism (CD) spectra were calculated and compared to the experiment. Assignment of handedness of the intrinsically chiral cluster is possible. | |
