A facile, low-temperature method has been developed for synthesizing Au25 clusters in high yield. It was discovered that by controlling the formation kinetics of the Au(I) intermediate species, exclusive formation of one-sized clusters (Au25) can be achieved, which represents an important advance in the synthesis of monodisperse gold clusters.
