Abstract

A facile, low-temperature method has been developed for synthesizing Au 25 clusters in high yield. It was discovered that by controlling the formation kinetics of the Au(I) intermediate species, exclusive formation of one-sized clusters (Au 25 ) can be achieved, which represents an important advance in the synthesis of monodisperse gold clusters.
