Conventional gold comprising the cubic lattice is universally knownf or its stability.H owever,w ell knownt o chemists and metallurgists,t his nobility is challenged by reagents such as aqua regia, which dissolve gold to form as alt solution. [2] Thes urface stability of Au has been the subject matter of numerous experimental and theoretical studies in the last few decades. Herein, we report ac ombined experimental and theoretical investigation of the stability of Au microcrystallites bearing unconventional crystal lattices that exhibit enhanced stability towards Hg and aqua regia and practically no interaction with Cu during electroless plating.
