Kernel-differentiated fusion strategy redefines critical size thresholds in giant twinned-FCC RS-AuNCs: unlocking size adaptability and birth of metallicity Thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters (RS-AuNCs) have emerged as an ideal research system for unveiling intrinsic structure–property correlations due to their atomically precise structural tunability. ...

🔥 This study confirms stable #FCC structures in mid-to-large gold #nanoclusters, introduces a ‘kernel-differentiated fusion’ design strategy, and reveals emerging metallic behavior in 182/188-atom clusters, challenging the view that structure depends solely on size.
