Abstract:Recently, we revealed the electronic nature of the tubular Au26 based on spherical aromaticity. The peculiar structure of the Au26 could be an ideal catalyst model for studying the adsorptions of the Au nanotubes. However, through Google Scholar, we found that no one has reported connections between the structure and reactivity properties of Au26. Here, three kinds of molecules are selected to study the fundamental adsorption behaviors that occur on the surface of Au26. When one CO molecule is adsorbed on the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
