Examination demonstrates ligand effects on geometric rearrangement in gold nanoclusters, indicating novel synthesis pathways.

The systematic construction of Au11–13 nanoclusters reveals novel pathways in gold NC synthesis, enhancing atomic-level control.
A key intermediate, the metastable corner-missing gold icosahedron Au12 NC, was successfully synthesized and characterized through crystallographic methods.
Continuous visualization of the total synthesis process marks a significant advancement in understanding the nucleation mechanism of gold nanoclusters.
Adjustments in ligand-shell modifications directly influence geometric and electronic properties of nanoclusters, which hints at potential application improvements.
