Sticking out at the edge : Molecular‐dynamics simulations of Au 309 (SC 6 H 13 ) 80 show that the thiolates located at the edge of the antipodal face of the gold nanoparticle are more accessible from the outside (see model). The behavior is compared with experimental data and explained in simple mechanical terms.
