Survival of the fittest : A profound connection has been found between the structures of thiolated gold clusters and the combinatorial problem of pairing up dots on a surface. The bridge is the concept of staple fitness: the fittest combination corresponds to the experimental structure. This connection has been demonstrated for both Au 25 (SR) 18 and Au 38 (SR) 24 (‐SR being a thiolate group) and applied to predict a promising structure for the recently synthesized Au 19 (SR) 13 .
