A quasi‐sd 4 hybridization state for group VIIIB and IB face‐centered cubic (FCC) transition metals in low‐dimensional nanostructures is identified, in contrast to the sd 5 hybridization state in bulk. For Au, a novel three‐shelled nanowire is designed with a hexagonal close‐packed core in the sd 5 hybridization, wrapped by FCC‐(111) shell that adopts the quasi‐sd 4 hybridization. This new nanostructure exhibits remarkable stability and electronic properties.
