Inversion energy profile and selected configurations of Au144(SH)60 by rotation of the five core Au atoms closest to the C5 symmetry axis parallel to the top view direction. Behavior of the energy as a function of reaction frame is given in panel a, and selected frames are shown in panel b, corresponding to red data points in panel a. Only the gold–sulfur framework is shown for clarity. The arrow in panel a denotes the direction of the rotation.
