Molecular gold clusters as precursors to heterogeneous catalysts

This work of this thesis covers a number of different aspects of chemistry. Initially, the relationship between the number of atoms at the core of molecular clusters of gold and the steric bulk of the stabilising phosphine ligands is explored. A range of gold clusters was prepared through the use of...
