New Evidence of the Bidentate Binding Mode in 3-MBA Protected Gold Clusters: Analysis of Aqueous 13–18 kDa Gold-Thiolate Clusters by HPLC-ESI-MS Reveals Special Compositions Au<em><sub>n</sub></em>(3-MBA)<em><sub>p</sub></em>, (<em>n</em> = 48–67, <em>p</em> = 26–30)
Gold clusters protected by 3-MBA ligands (MBA = mercaptobenzoic acid, –SPhCO<sub>2</sub>H) have attracted recent interest due to their unusual structures and their advantageous ligand-exchange and bioconjugation properties. Azubel et al. first determined the core structure of an <i>...
