Terahertz Raman Spectroscopy of Ligand-Protected Au8 Clusters.For ligand-protected gold clusters, geometrical differences of gold cores and/or the presence of secondary gold core-ligand interactions influence their unique optical and electronic properties and can, in principle, be detected by spectral changes of gold core vibrations (phonon modes) in ultralow-frequency Raman spectroscopy.  THz Raman spectroscopy can be utilized for metal nanoclusters to visualize core structural changes and Au···π interactions, which cannot be captured by single crystal X-ray analysis.
