Gold Nanoclusters: Atomically Precise Gold Nanoclusters: Towards an Optimal Biocompatible System from a Theoretical–Experimental Strategy (Small 27/2021)

María Francisca Matus, Hannu Häkkinen

Abstract

In article number 2005499, María Francisca Matus and Hannu Häkkinen discuss the recent advances for using atomically precise gold nanoclusters for biomedical applications and their advantages over the well-known colloidal gold nanoparticles. The ultrasmall size and monodispersity of gold nanoclusters are key factors for their excellent biocompatibility and show great potential for designing a new generation of nanomaterials for biomedicine.
