75. A sphere, covered by tightly packed alkanethiolate ligands can achieve a maximum coverage of 43%; thus, the presence effaces, edges, and corners significantly increases the ligand density of a polyhedron with the same average diameter.
76. Polydispersity of cluster sizes in a preparation will bias the calculated surface coverage; thus, these results only apply to a hypothetical average cluster size.
77. 2. Simple geometric considerations reveal that this calculation is equivalent to using 57% of the surface area of each edge Au atom and 83% of each corner Au atom. These contributions will clearly overestimate the actual surface area of the polyhedron; thus, coverages obtained from these calculations should be considered maximum values. Also latent in these assumptions is the approximation that the alkanethiolates will indiscriminately bind to the polyhedron to form a maximally packed surface.

82. 8 solution of the (0°,2X,sd) cluster preparation at 90°C, which leads (shown by NMR) to partial monolayer decomposition (<15%), forming di(dodecyl)disulfide and a cluster material that was still stable. Current studies demonstrate that alkyldisulfides cannot exchange onto clusters, so formation of dodecyldisulfide during (90°,2X,sd) cluster synthesis would not allow the full monolayer reconstitution even'after the reaction was returned to room temperature.

118. When the sample is inserted and the temperature immediately raised to 200°C, the total ion and disulfide ion currents are very broad peaks (30-40°C). This result may be due to physisorbed or weakly adsorbed disulfides. Holding the sample at 50°C for 4 min effectively eliminates this type of desorption feature. Further studies will examine this phenomenon.
