Optical properties of systems containing Au55-clusters

Abstract

Gold cluster compounds were investigated which contain clusters of 55 gold atoms in each unit. The ligands stabilize these clusters and, hence, many-cluster systems can be prepared which mainly show the properties of the single dressed cluster. Experimental results of optical and electron-microscopical investigations are presented and shortly discussed in view of the question whether the clusters are molecular or solid-state like.
