Abstract

An aromatic alkyne-protected Au₂₈ nanocluster, that is Au₂₈(DMPA)₂₀ (DMPA = 1-ethynyl-2,4-dimethylbenzene), is reported in this work, and its atomic-packing structure is very similar to that of Au₂₈(SR)₂₀ (where SR denotes thiolate) reported before. Compared to thiolate-capped Au₂₈(SR)₂₀, the Au₂₈(DMPA)₂₀ nanocluster catalyst can give rise to a much higher catalytic activity in electrocatalytic ethanol oxidation.
