Control of single-ligand chemistry on thiolated Au25 nanoclusters

Diverse methods have been developed to tailor the number of metal atoms in metal nanoclusters, but controlling the number of surface ligands is rare. Here, the authors realize reversible addition and elimination of a single thiolate ligand on a gold nanocluster.
