This is one of the two smallest multitwinned MD nanoparticles of fivefold symmetry; much larger ones have been proposed based upon theoretical calculations and indirectly observed (e.g, with transmission electron microscopy) for naked nanoparticles of decahedral morphology: a) L.

28. [3b,3c,17] has assigned these attractive interactions (energetically estimated to be analogous to standard hydrogen bonding) to strong dispersion forces (also described as correlation effects) that are markedly enhanced by relativistic effects, which are particularly pronounced for gold.
