Caption

Detailed architecture of different copper nanoclusters. All the nanoclusters have identical numbers of copper atoms, thiolate ligands and hydrides. The alteration is visible only in PPh₃ ligand attachment. (a) and (d) where all the PPh3 ligands were attached, (b) and (e) where one vertex is dislocated which influence the detachment of one PPh₃ ligand, (c) and (f) where two diagonal vertices are dislocated that detach two associated PPh₃ ligands.
