Figure 5. Calculated energies of reactions.

Figure 5

Calculated energies for the substitution reaction (ΔEs) of Au in Ag25(DMBT)18 (a), Ag in Au25(PET)18 (b) and the overall reaction energies (c), in meV, as a function of their positions in the product clusters, Ag24Au1(DMBT)18 and Au24Ag1(PET)18. DMBT is 2,4-dimethylbenzenethiol and PET is 2-phenylethanethiol. The overall structure of M25(SR)18 (M=Ag/Au) and their distinct metal atom positions (C, I and S) are shown in (d). For the labels on the picture, refer to text.
