The gold–sulfur interface at the nanoscale

TL;DR: This Review discusses the recent progress from the viewpoint of theory and computations, with connections to relevant experiments in the understanding of the molecular structure of the gold-sulfur interface in these systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

When Gold Is Not Noble: Nanoscale Gold Catalysts

TL;DR: In this article, temperature-programmed reaction studies of the catalyzed combustion of CO on size-selected small monodispersed Aun (n ≤ 20) gold clusters supported on magnesia, and first-principle simulations reveal the microscopic origins of the observed unusual catalytic activity, with Au8 being the smallest catalytically active size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Charging Effects on Bonding and Catalyzed Oxidation of CO on Au8 Clusters on MgO

TL;DR: Infrared measurements of the stretch vibration of CO adsorbed on mass-selected gold octamers soft-landed on MgO(001) with coadsorbed O2 show a red shift on an F-center–rich surface with respect to the perfect surface, agreeing with quantum ab initio calculations that predict this shift should arise via electron back-donation to the CO antibonding orbital.
