Fig. 3: The assembly of phenylmethanethiolates on Au60S8r and Au60S8n surfaces.
From: Distance makes a difference in crystalline photoluminescence

(a) Highlight of the distribution of phenylmethanethiolates on both sides of Au60S8r, (b) highlight of the distribution of phenylmethanethiolates in the middle section of Au60S8r, (c) illustration of the surface assembly of phenylmethanethiolates in another view for Au60S8r, (d) highlight of the distribution of phenylmethanethiolates on both sides of Au60S8n, (e) highlight of the distribution of phenylmethanethiolates in the middle section of Au60S8n, (f) illustration of the surface patterns of phenylmethanethiolates in another view for Au60S8n, (g) illustration of the intraparticle C–H···π interactions on the surface of Au60S8r, and (h) illustration of the intraparticle C–H···π interactions on the surface of Au60S8n (for clarity, sulfur atoms are shown in purple and yellow and hydrogen atoms are omitted in c and f).
