Aurophilicity as a structure-directing principle in hyperchlorinated AunCln+5- (2 ≤ n ≤ 7) clusters

This study addresses the gap concerning the structural landscape of experimentally observed high-chloride Au n Cl n+5 - cluster anions, whose stable geometries, aurophilic interaction patterns, thermodynamic stability, and growth pathways remain largely unexplored compared to well-characterized low- and medium-c...
