(a) Scheme illustration of the bimetallic Janus structures of the obtained nanoclusters. (b, c) Structures of the racemate Au₈Cu₄ and Au₃Cd₁ nanoclusters. (d, e) Structures of R/S-Au₈Cu₄ enantiomers. Color legends: orange sphere, Au; turquoise sphere, Cu; indigo sphere, Cd; pink sphere, P; yellow sphere, S; blue sphere, N; green sphere, Cl; gray sphere, C. Hydrogen atoms are omitted for clarity. (f, g) Directions and values of the dipole moment of Au₈Cu₄ nanoclusters. (h, i) TEM images of the one-dimensional nanowires made from Au₈Cu₄ nanocluster molecules.
