Abstract
Gold nanocrystals passivated by self‐assembled monolayers of straightchain alkylhiolate molecules have been obtained as highly purified molecular materials of high intrinsic stability. Evidence is presented for a predicted discrete sequence of energetically optimal fcc structures of a truncated octahedral morphological motif (see cover). The nanocrystal materials have a propensity to form extended superlattics, such as that in the Figure. magnified image

Simulated annealing Monte Carlo calculations are used to demonstrate that these configurations correspond to minimization of the mesoscopic van der Waals energy of polydisperse particles, and the driving force for ordering is the size dependence of dispersional attractions.

Two distinct C78-isomers were formed in a ratio of ∼5:1 and could be separated by high-performance liquid chromatography and the isolation of specifically these two isomers of C78 provides insight into the stability of higher fullerenes and into the mechanism for fullerene formation in general.
