Abstract: | 197Au Mössbauer effect spectroscopy and specific heat measurements have been performed as a function of temperature on three gold polynuclear cluster compounds, Au9(PPh3)8](NO3)3, Au11(PPh3)7(SCN)3, and Au55(PPh3)12Cl6. The Mössbauer data yield information on the vibrational motions of the various distinguishable Au sites, as well as on the motion of the clusters as a whole. The Mössbauer and the specific heat data are successfully described by a superposition of inter- and intra-cluster vibrations. The latter are determined by calculating numerically the normal modes of vibration of the metal cores. |
